Classe CA-M 600 vs Electrocompaniet NEMO

Hello everybody. My current system at the moment is all top of the line Electrocompaniet EMC-1UP/4.8/NEMO driving a pair of B&W 800 Diamonds (the latest ones, not D).While the system sounds impressive it doesn't sound as effortless as it should (keep in mind that I don't have dedicated lines yet and most of the living room seems to sit on one line!). I know that NEMO's eat tons of current so that could be the problem. I can't help but wonder if switching to all Classe set up (CP 800/CA-M 600) would be a good idea. The Classe/B&W set ups I heard at the dealers all sounded like the amps and the speakers were literally made for each other.

It's amazing to watch people spend thousands on gear yet fear the few hundred it takes to install solid VAC.

Actually, you want to use one VAC line. It simply needs to be beefy enough to do the job. A 20 amp breaker off the proper leg of your panel (or a separate small panel) feeding uninterrupted (no junction boxes) 10 gauge solid copper within metal clad conduit out to four 20 amp isolated ground receptacles (metal boxes) in the wall made a huge improvement to my system and one less questionable issue.
