look into 2 odyssey stratos monoblocks with the upgrades. or if you have the funds, get 2 classe cam amps. The odyssey is very similiar in sound for 1/3rd the price. As for electrical, 1 single 20 amp circuit would be plenty with 1 good line conditioner. You will not need 2 dedicated lines and 2 line conditioners. I have been at audio shows where they plugged all of there equipment into a 4 port richard gray device or a multiple port ps audio device. If you get a cheaper line conditioner, then you might need more than 1. As for current draw from a 20amp circuit, call an electrician when you get everything setup and he will put a device on the line that will indicate how many amps you are drawing at the panel. I think you will be surprised at how little amps you are drawing. I have 2 monoblocks plugged into a ps audio line conditioner on a dedicated 20 amp circuit. At my maximum listening level, I'm pulling a little over 5 amps at the panel. I could 3 more amps on the circuit and not have any problems.
2nd amp or one bigger amp?
Hello to all,
I was a happy owner of a CJ MV-55 amp. I recenty purchased a pair of Martin Logan Sequel IIs from here (A-gon) and things were great. The combanation sounded very nice at lower volumes considering I lived in an apartment. I recently moved into a house and I can play much louder :) BUT the MV-55 does not have enough juice to do that at 45W/channel. Should I consider a second MV-55 for a monoblock operation or sell the MV-55 and get a Premier 11? I'm very tight on budget at this time and the 12s are way over my budget. any advise is greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Shahen
