A dedicated 20 amp (2400 watts) circuit is more than enough for
anything you would ever use ... One amp = 120 watts,so you can do the math and
you will see that you will never need any more than that.
Oh no, this is completely mistaken. That's because no amplifier is 100% efficient. Look at a Bryston 4B amp, for example. This nominally a 300W/channel amp, but it draws 2100 watts of AC when driven hard at 4 ohms. So if you're running high-power amps, you'll want a 20A dedicated line for each, plus at least one more line for your source components.
