Bruce: we've been through this discussion on another thread. That number is for all channels driven to full power simultaneously.

We have one data point that indicates that listening at very loud levels, peak power requirements are 40% of that stated number.

So, I wouldn't worry about tripping any 15 or 20 amp breakers.

That amp looks very nice. Its on my "review" list.
