Just in case anyone is wondering if a P12 is a “baby” and thus underpowered… Then have a look here and scroll through look at the various picture showing the P12 power loading while owering 2 Emotiva XSP1 mono amps in Class A and later on a pix showing a Plinius SA 50 on the P12 as well… > [@One P12 for a pair of monoblocks](https://forum.psaudio.com/t/one-p12-for-a-pair-of-monoblocks/11062/5): > > Thanks, @Brodric. The highest continuous power draw I’ve recorded on my P12 was this. That was with my two Emotiva amps and this beast. All three amplifiers were in Class A mode, and to my ears, they did sound better plugged into the P12 as opposed to directly into the wall outlet. And I have dedicated outlets that go straight to the home circuit breaker panel. Maybe it’s because the quality of the mains voltage in my part of the world is lousy. Haha… … Fun reading…enjoy Best wishes --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.psaudio.com/t/what-upgrade-first-power-plant-or-amplifiers/25363)._
