Re-wiring the listening room: Questions

FINALLY getting around to having some straight runs from the panel to the listening room.

My room is a basic rectangle with the speakers at 10:00 and 2:00, amps at 12:00, and equipment at 9:00.

Currently everything is fed via power near the equipment, also at 9:00, however I do have another outlet at 12:00.

Should I do two separate runs?

If so, do I want both individual runs available at the 9:00 and 12:00 positions?

Currently everything is plugged into an AQ Niagara, I have all digital and analog stuff powered via that same Niagara, however I could foresee adding a second power conditioner/distributor in the future to just serve the amps located at 12:00.

What should I do?

Thank you!

two locations, two power protection, everything plugged into the two power protectors

= two separate circuits, 1 at 9, 1 at 12.

IF your panel breakers are 20 amp, then 20 amp ckts; however many panels are 15 amp breakers, thus a 15 amp circuit works, unless you think you might upgrade the panel in the future.

So, you have 1 and add 1 power protector: I went for this one with 45 amps peak reserves. Note: it is a 15 amp device. (note: you want the PFR version)

Next, for a lamp or two, record cleaning machine, any equipment not audio signal related, a 3rd separate circuit with duplex or quad outlets looped to 9 and 12. A beer/wine cooler!!!!
