I am setting up a new system with rear projection TV, receiver, separate amp for whole house audio and all the other add-ons. I have a dedicated 20 amp outlet and the TV and amps alone total out at about 2100 watts. I was looking at some non-MOV type supressors/line conditioners such as the Brickwall and Adcom (the Adcom is limited to 1800 watts total). I wouldn't mind having sequential turn-on but that isn't an option on the Brickwall models. My budget for this portion of the project is less than about $400. Anyone have any suggestions. Can I avoid having a second circut and supressor/conditioner involved?

Thanks

R, it's extremely rare for an audio system to even approach the rated power consumption, because even at loud levels, the average power delivered, and thus used, is a fraction of the ratings. A 20-amp circuit is more than enough for most systems.

However, separate circuits for isolation reasons is another matter. A good, multi-section power conditioner should suffice for your purposes. Stay tuned, others will provide make/model information I can't provide.
