At full rated output the 900e will draw 5000 watts from the wall (41.67 amps @ 120V). That would require a 50 amp dedicated circuit for each amplifier.
Just guessing about the actual utility cost, but averaging 4kWH consumption at moderate listening levels he will use 8kWH of power per day listening two hours daily. If the utility cost is 15 cents per kWh he will be spending $1.20 per day or $36.00 on average per month. Of course if he is cranking the Evo 900e's continuously, or listening for longer periods of time the cost will rise proportionately.

I have ZERO knowledge on electrical engineering, but I need help.
I have a pair of 900e's each on dedicated 20amp 120v lines. When I turn them on, the circuit breakers sometimes trip. If they don't trip, the breakers hum/buzz.
Are you suggesting that I should convert each line to 50 amp 120v lines, if there is such a thing? Or, do I need to convert the amps to 240v and the lines to 50amp 240v? Thanks.
