Connect 3 High Current Amps to a Power Conditioner


I have 2 amplifiers, 1 for my mains and 1 for my center. I also have a powered subwoofer. I am planning to buy a panamax pc with 2 high current outlets + 4 isolated + 5 balanced filtered outputs. Here is verbiage from a review about the high current outlets: "Here the power is only limited by the main 15 amp circuit breaker and other protection circuitry maximizing the instantaneous current needed by the high current amplifiers found in today's home theaters."

I am trying to figure out how I can connect my 3 high current devices to the pc.

main amp: Acurus a250
center amp: Adcom gfa-555ii
Sub: Polk DSW pro 400

Can I connect my main amp and center amp in parallel using a surge strip into one of the high current outlets ? Or is it best to connect sub directly into another outlet in the room and use the 2 high currents for my amps ?

Some addl info:
* I will be using the system mainly for movies.
* I do not have (nor have the expertize/resources to do) any special electrical work done in my media room.

Thx

I have a 5510 in use for the past 10 years or so. Great unit.

First, the 'regenerator' part of the logo refers to a small isolation transformer.
Follow the 'schematic' on the units top plate and connect all your low current and digital stuff to this.
I use another outlet for my TV.
In years past I experimented with the HiCurrent outlets and found them to stifle an amp. Even my moderately powerful Rotel RB-1070 of 130x2 driving fairly low sensitivity panels of 4ohms was lifeless. This combo never went above about 5 amps on the supplied meter. Plugging the amp straight into the wall helped a lot.
These days, my amp goes into its own circuit along with the sub. I have a PSAudio Soloist outlet which has some noise reduction / surge protection features.
The Rotel is long gone.
