Pete's TWL HAL1 AC power cable arrived today. 

Will be trying it with the UberBUSS soon to get impressions.  Have a two channel moded ChipAmp setup to give it a listen.

Well the first batch of 8 TWL power cords is going on order to go with the first one I have.  This will be enough to get the first part of The Megaliths speakers running with the 16 amp channels.

The BlunderBUSS has arrived!  This is going to work out great powering The Megaliths speakers.

Twenty Class AB amp's and two Rythmik HX800 servo amps get connected with the TWL HAL AC power cables.

All the amp channels are tested.  Now to get things connected for trials. 

The dspMusik RevD 8 channel digital crossover is here and will be connected to it as well.  Will be experimenting with the DigiBUSS with it or with the UberBUSS to power the MS-3 Music Server and data library.

Ribbon tweeter's and installation material have arrived as well, so off to getting it all installed and setup.

DAMN!!! I lost track of this thread. 24 outlets!! I think that beast should be called THUNDERBuss. Some things though. With all those outlets shouldn't there be 2 IEC Inlets for all that power? That or should there be a 20 amp IEC inlet rather than 15 amp?

Average idle power for the 20 Class AB and 2 Class D servo amps are pretty low.  Peak power can be high, but doubt I will ever use that much in my room.

Was using my UberBUSS and extension strips with it, but now I needed more outlets for the full 22 amp channels which are now completed. 

Last part that gets plugged in is the dspMusik digital crossover that is located near the speakers and goes into the Blunderbuss.

The UberBUSS and DigiBUSS now run the MS-3 Music Server PC and display.

The BlunderBUSS running the 20 amp modules and two servo amps with the TWL AC cables to the amp modules.
