One of the beautiful things about monoblocks is the ability to remove speaker cables from all equations (cost, sound, amp instability, etc). I have mine positioned behind my speakers such that the binding posts line up. Only need two inches of "cable" to make the connection.
Dedicated Line ....... my system SUCKS
Hey there , actually my system sucks current. I have a pair of Cary CAD 500 monoblocks, Maggie 3.6 speakers with a Aesthetix preamp. I have had issues with amps shutting down . I am going to create a dedicated circuit for the above mentioned gear . I can do a couple of adjacent locations. Currently have a 15 amp line for the entire room . I am looking to those of you who have incite . what did you do to obtain the maximum amperage from the breaker box to the wall outlet ? did you notice a improvement ? this dedicated line of 10 gauge wire is only 12 feet to the outlet. It seems as if a 20 amp receptacle is the highest rating for a duplex outlet - I was going to install a 30 amp breaker but not sure if I would realize its potential. In closing , a note for those wondering , the amps were checked out by the manufacturer and are fine. the speakers are on 25 foot runs of Kimber 8tc. thanks in advance for your thoughts and advice. PS - I have been known to crank up the volume
