I think I'm beginning to hear the Big Guy loud and clear.
What surprised me about all this was that Randy had problems with the MPS-1 but others with the RPA and XPA architecture have not had problems pairing the M80s with Emotiva.
Your post has piqued my curiosity though, you state, "if the measured current is some big number in relation to the voltage," are there any standard examples of what a large amperage would be or is it all relative? It seems like the amplifier is going into protect when the current goes up to around 6 amps above baseline (it shuts down when amperage reaches 10-13 amps for all devices connected to the HT electrical circuit with 4-6 amps being the reading when the HT system is on but idling), that level does not seem that extreme to me, but I have no sense of what might be the normal rage.
I was hoping for a long term solution, i.e., headroom for any conceivable situation including even if we moved and our HT was in a bigger space, looks like it's time to search for a Plan B.
