Can anyone here confirm if the P15 can handle: a pre-amp and a McIntosh 611 monoblocks and a CD player ?  
The one that im a bit of concern is the Mc611 monoblocks as these are 600w x 2.

Thank you for the inputs.

With my 750W monoblocks (and my preamp, etc.) on a P20 I can barely get to 50% utilization playing music way too loud. I doubt that you are getting anywhere near 600W at even loud listening levels.

I am pretty sure it will handle.  
But what I am not sure is will it blunt some dynamic or not. All will have to share one main power cord and a single transformer inside P15. The question shpuld be will it make a true sonic improvement .

Those were precisely my concerns - but it does well here:

With two people (and the handles on the front and back) it was easy to get into the system. I grabbed some Shunyata Taipan power cords I had around and put the P20 between the wall and my Simaudio W-10 monoblocks. Then I played some music loud to see how much headroom I’d have. A little louder than I’d ever want to l…
