I knew same questions was asked before but didn't get any positive answers so what is the difference between two? I do have both connected to Panamax Power conditioner.

We don't know what you are using with the Panamax. The CMX is not current limiting unlike many other power managers are. I used Panamax for years for low draw stuff. Did well best I could tell. The CMX are ideal for what was said above with DC offset and so on. I have my Parasounds and Emotiva BAS-X and it does well. My experience anyway.

And... with only 2 ports on the CMX2(+), to get more can one plug a CMX6 (loaded with components) into a CMX2, or does that defeat the purpose of the DC offset elimination (it would seem to). So, then two CMX2's plugged into another CMX2, to get 4 ports? Getting expensive! I have an extra separate 20ohm socket currently for just the main multi-amp-module and one subwoofer (on a cmx2), but there is another subwoofer, currently on a Monoprice power strip with all the other components (TV, pre-processor, etc) on a different wall circuit.
Hmmm... maybe with just one more CMX2(+), move both of the CMX2's to the wall circuit with two wall plugs, and the rest of the components can stay on the Monoprice power strip on the separate circuit - move the XMC-2 onto one of the CMX2's, so that it, the big amp and the two subwoofers are on CMX2's?
Otherwise, my current config seems fine, no DC offset hum, so yes I could just leave things alone. I don't know if the Monoprice power strip is limiting the extra subwoofer.
