Watts = Volts * Amps
Never heard of an amplifier rated in "amps per channel" before.

Need understanding on amperage
Forgive me for being a little slow but I'm confused on how to understand the amp ratings:
My circuit to my gear is 20 amps
My conditioner is good to 45 amps (Furman Elite PF15)
My amp is rated at 60 amps per channel (Parasound A21)
and my speakers suck amperage like its going out of style. (Thiel cs2.4's)
So how is it my amp can run 60 amps if my wall outlet is only rated at 20? Is this reserve amps held by the transformer?
And if my power conditioner is rated at 45 amps then am I shortchanging myself by running my amp through it?
And If all this is true then why aren't I throwing the circuit breaker all the time when the system is cranked up?
Again, I'm slow, so use small words so I can understand ;)
