An audio system would never come close to using that kind of power...
of course you're using high powered amps from companies like Audio Research, Emotiva, Pass Labs and VTL - among others. In some cases, the mono amplifiers each require a 20A circuit.
While the total current draw of the upstairs system is about 17.5 A, I use two dedicated 20A circuits to provide better isolation.
