As mentioned earlier, 230v x 32a = 7360 watt supply.
Assuming an amplifier efficiency of 95% you should have a useable 7000 watts.
Your 32a breaker will handle say 20% more for very short bursts before tripping.
In short, you have more than enough power on tap for whatever you want.

Take a look at an amp's transformer VA rating.
You will never pull more watts out of the wall than the VA rating of the transformer.
All of these specs are on Emotiva's website for each amp.

so i'm fine with single 32amp circuit Up until yesterday, I was running two XPA-1 on a 16A/230V power line shared with other devices. No problem! Never once did the breaker jump. This is about the same as XPA5 + XPA-2. Now I installed a dedicated power line with 20A/230V just to be sure. You will have plenty! How thick are your wires, anyway? More than 20A is not advised for 2.5 mm2. |

You'll be fine.
Right now, I have a ton of stuff on a single 15 amp circuit:
UMC-1
HTPC (600 watt power supply)
UPA-1 times 3
UPA-2
40" LCD TV
PS3
Cable Box
Two 60W lights
Possibly my Paradigm Seismic 12 (1500W RMS) but I highly doubt it given the other equipment
I have yet to trip my breaker...
