Is there any interest in a group buy for these?

I was thinking of buying "50" of them again.

Retail is $249

AA Special group purchase $199 delivered in the USA

I am torn if I should tap into the dedicated line for my amps and use a Soloist SE or just keep running the subs off of the PPP that's powering the components. The power coming into the home is usually enough that the PPP mostly cuts but on occasion it will have to boost a volt or two. It depends on the time of day. The PPP does not seem to be overworked but I noticed that the THD increases the more things you have hooked up to it so I am willing to use the other line but hate to take power away from the main three amps.

The subs are not in use during 2ch listening. So.....Keep the subs hooked into the PPP or run another off of the 30amp dedicated line with a Soloist SE to power the sub amps?

I would. I use them and have no issues with "tapping" into a dedicated line. In fact, they are far better outlets and delivery systems than just about anything else out there, plus you get surge suppression.

(Soloist SE->RGPC1200C->PPP->everything is the current flow, from dedicated 20a circuits)

My sources power train is a Soloist SE, Anaconda CX, PPP, Python CX then source. Now I am also using that same PPP to power the pair of F113's. Also I notice the more you draw from the PPP the higher the THC is. So to break down my question..... Should I run another line from the dedicated line that powers only my main amps, or if the PPP is not struggling power wise should I just let the F113's draw there power from the PPP even know it is powering the sources?

1) Add another dedicated circuit and split the Fathoms. The User Manual for the Fathom recommends a dedicated line for each sub - as each one can RMS @ 2500W for short periods. Then add another PPP to the new circuit.
2) If that is not an option, I would get another PPP and plug that into the existing circuit, and split the load to the PPPs. 20-amps and split 1500Wx2 should help you out even without a new dedicated line.

In other words, I'd make sure everything was plugged into a PPP, but would find a way to load balance.

(And your typo was funny - THC is the compound found in marijuana that gets you high - THD is what we try to eliminate)
