So I plugged the amplifier back into the power conditioner and have been watching the amperage drawn, the protection circuit on the emotiva reliably kicks in once the measured amperage goes above 13 amps for the entire HT system (i.e., once it measures 13.3--13.8, inaudible BOOM!), the house was built in 1989 (we moved here from an apt in 2005, yay!) and I suspect it's underpowered from past experience with the AC going out, I seem to remember most of the power lines in our home other than the wiring for 1 or 2 major appliances being rated at a maximum of 10 amps, I'm thinking an electrician might be able to help, especially given that I'm anticipating an EP800 on or about 11/17, I could be looking at trouble if I fail to upgrade the power lines, why does it never end (ah, what would I find to do if the project ever ended?
).
Perhaps the M80s are thirsty and the home wiring can't keep up!?
