Power for my Rotel

[migzy]

Picking up the following tomorrow

Rc-1070
RB - 1080
RCD - 1072
B&W 683 floorstanders

I know the 1080 is power hungry and I have the problem that I only have one power socket on the wall, therefore I will be running all my units of a 10 way 3000W extension tower.
The tower will also have my plasma, pc, ps3 and a few other peripherals plugged into it, do you think I'm going to have any issues.

Thanks

Doubtful. I'm running a whole lot more on a single 20a outlet and I'm not nearly maxing it out.

Not sure of how you will be controlling it, but I wouldn't turn everything on at once though.. IE, audio first and then video after about 5 seconds. The 1080 and plasma will draw a lot more current then they will normally use when you first turn them on.

You can tell if your system is not getting enough juice by an increase in sibilance, specially with female vocals.

I have the following hooked up tp my RLC 1080:
Sony 52" XBR3
Sony S1 Blu-Ray
2 Xbox 360's with HD-DVD
Rotel RSP 1098
2 Rotel RMB 1080's
Rotel RMB 1070
The only problem that I have encountered is when I power up my entire system to play my Xbox 360. I will get the 3 ring of death because of the power draw from the amps turning on. When I power up just the TV & Xbox first, with the Rotel's powering up second, I don't have this problem. I am very happy with my RCL 1080 as it has saved my system times in the past year. It was one of the best purchases I have made. Also I have my RCL 1080 on all the time.
