Let me repeat what I said before:Odyssey's current output claims are wildly overstated.
Now, let me ask you what kind of power outlets you will have your amps hooked into? Don't tell me 15A or 20A circuits, or I'll be forced to snicker. :-)In order to actually deliver 240A you would need at least five 50A circuits to power those amplifiers. If you live in the US you most likely have (at best) 200A electrical service to your house, so where exactly would all that current come from?
Lastly = 240A is about 27,000 (twenty-seven THOUSAND) Watts. Is that what they're rated for? :-)
The laws of physics cannot be bypassed, even by high end audio gear.
