Mutlple Amps and a line Conditioner

I have a MAXX (www.maxxproducts.com) line conditioner and really don't know much about it, except I paid a lot when I bought it a couple of years ago. Was recommended by the Audio store here in Manhattan.

Well, I'm going to be running the following equipment from the AC in my home. Any info on (1) if I can plug all of this equipment into the line conditioner? (2) should amps go directly into wall? (3) how much power can an outlet really handle? (4) balanced power compared to isolated power? Help???

2 McCormack DNA-225's
1 McCormack HT-5
1 Elac powered subwoofer
1 Sonance Cinema Sub Amplifier
1 McCormack UPD-1
1 McCormack RLD-1
1 McCormack MAP-1

I realize the line drives and CD player aren't much of an issue, but, what about all the amplifiers?

For those of you wondering why I'm running all of this equipment, well, I'm running two separate systems from the same location since the loft has different mezzanine spaces (one main floor for music and one small mezzanine for movies).

I live in an old NYC loft so I'm left in the hands of my building power which will hopefully be upgraded sometime in the future. My construction will be completed in another couple of months and I don't want to be stuck behind the eight ball when I finally hook up my system.

Thanks for any help you can offer!

What is the MAXX's current rating? What are the current loads for each of the devices? Add 'em up and see if they are less than the MAXX's current rating.

Each line to the outlets on the wall is usually 15A but you will have to look at the MAXX's specs to see how they rate their outlets.

Overall, I would suggest getting another power line and another power conditioner.
