Monster HTS 1000 MKII

Hi:

Just bought a HTS 1000 MKII for my setup (Monster I know but it is the best I can purchase around here and I got it for 45 bucks off). I am running a 20amp/2400w circut in the room but this bar is only rated 15amps/1800w. Have an SVS sub coming next week and wondering if the bar is going to be able to power everything?
What I have connected to the bar (model numbers are in my sig):
Panasonic 32" CRT Tau (uses 288W I think)
Old Goldstar VCR (??w)
Bell Express view Sat dish (??w)
Sony 5disc player (15W)
Marantz SR7500 amp (power rating on back is 680w I think)
Speakers connected:
- 2 monitor 60
- 2 Monitor 40
- 1 CS1
Polk PW10 50w rms (changing to SVS 20-39 PC+ next week. Uses 525w Rms)
Sony Playstation (45W) (new slim model).
I know if you add it up I should have enough but I am still not sure. Is this bar going to be enough for everything or should I have bought something bigger?

Note that I does seem to sound clearer now that I have the power conditioning. Don't notice anything in the picture.

You will not be using all the gear at the same time, I would say you are fine.
So unless you roll up the rim and win tons of cash I say keep what you have.

Will be running the reciever, sub, tv and say DVD palyer at the same time and that is where most of the power draw is from.
