Does your house wiring supply enough power for your audio system?

While agree a home theater may have greater power requirements (than a stereo setup), suspect your coffee maker is the real power pig.

I like my coffee strong. I make sure to use all 15A when brewing...

50amps@230V (11.5KW) main line circuit breaker. 4 sub-lines 12,15,18,32amp breakers. Real grounding and GFCI, fat cables .

That seems about right! I can't run more than 5 more amps on my 20 AMP circuit when I am brewing coffee (the toaster has to be on one of the other 20 AMP circuits)
(20 AMP circuits are the smallest circuits in my home [& have been so since the home was built in 1968])

Jesus, at what volume do you listen to music or movies??? In most Western European living rooms it should be about 1-5 Watts simply to avoid your neighbors breaking your front door ;o)

Wait until the cookout happens in the backyard & he kicks up the volume to 11.
In most cases like this, the music cannot be heard beyond the perimeter of your yard (although, in some cases...).

I just got the boys working on the 275kV transmission lines that supply the entire Gold Coast, to run me a lil' spur line to my place...

My audio system is using two dedicated 20 Amp circuits breaker plus one 15 Amp circuit breaker never a problem

LOVE IT!
I've been in the Perth/Freemantle area for about a month (end of Nov 2004-Jan 1, 2005). I rented an apartment & a car (scared the hell out of myself & some others, the first day of driving there). It was great, until we had to go & help Sri Lanka, due to the Tsunami (we were capable of making 30K+ US gallons of water a day (and delivering it in 1200 gallon potable water tanks pulled by HUMVEE's [which we could not do because of so many other ships already there, doing the same thing]). So we circled Sri Lanka for 27 days, before heading off elsewhere.
