Interresting. I have something by Monster that is similar. Buying this caused me to examine my house wiring because my outlets are only 2 wire, without a ground. Today I had an electrician install a new circuit breaker (edit: breaker box) and new breakers. In my living room I had a heater that would always flip the breaker when I put it on high. He had some gizmo that clamped to the wire at the breaker and noticed my heater was drawing just over 15 amps, so he used a 20 amp breaker there.

I told him about what I had planned for HT and he said that sound equipment didn't draw very much power. So, in the same room as the heater on high, I started up my computer, turned all lights on, turned on my tv and receiver and played something really loud. This only increased the amp draw from 15 to 18 amps.
