D'oh! They just opened a store in my town. I went there just last week to pick up a Digital OTA tv tuner using the $40 governemnt-supplied coupon.

Oh I thought it was only certain stores that were closing, are they shutting them all down now?

One more question: if I'm going to a run a high current audio amp like say the A1400-8 and the ep800 together--should these be on separate 20 amp circuit breakers or would one suffice?

Use 2 seperate circuits, the 2 together could pull more than 20 and I beleive the A1400 can get to 15A on it's own.

OK thanks, I was afraid of that, I'll have to experiment to see how the home is wired and then maybe call the electrician, depending perhaps upon the outlet that the subwoofer crawl reveals is the closest to the EP800, my guess would be that the circuits will wind up being the same.

I was thinking of in terms of extremes too, on the same circuit should Ok for most listening. I haven't seen my PB13 draw any more than 4A but I know my room is much smaller so it is not working very hard.

Got it, I will most likely have to wait until the sub arrives anyway, which will be last because it's on preorder, before I can determine the best sub location and therefore which outlet I will need to upgrade to drive the ep800. Since I'm stuck in neutral with no timeline for delivery of the 800 I thought I might as well investigate amperage needs for eventual situations as well as how the living room is wired so I can hit the ground running when what I anticipate may perhaps be the most important element of the HT will arrive.

The sub is THE most important part of the HT environment, at least to me. I still can't believe it took me ~5 years to get a good one. I bought mine as the last piece of the audio puzzle, as I already had a sub and didn't think gettting a better one would add that much, boy was I wrong.

I feel the same way, that's why I'm not very excited at the moment even though the VP150 and 4 QS8s are supposed to be delivered today. They (or at least the 1 lb manifest) were last tracked by Fedex in Syracuse on Wednesday so who knows where they actually are and when they will get here, but until the sub arrives, I'm like OK whatever.
Anyway I probably won't hire someone to run the speaker wire through the walls and mount the surrounds until the sub gets here and I can finalize where it should live, so I'll probably just putter around with the surrounds and try and figure out if I want any wall plates and if so how many and what kind. Not too crazy about having lots of junction boxes, are there some where you can just run the wires straight through? There must be, I'll have to look at one of the links given by Jason in an earlier thread.
