I was wondering if anyone had any experience of the above combo, I'm on the verge of ordering it for a home cinema set-up to run Monitor Audio PL300/PL100/PLC350 and a GXW15, alongside a SIM2 Mica 60 projector.
I'm also wondering if a 20amp circuit will be OK to drive the power amp?
Any advice appreciated

Yep I've got experience of it. Good kit which works well. Very configurable in the right hands.

Also like the SIM2 kit. Not heard the speaker set up.

Can't really access your technical questions on a Saturday night but your supplier should be able to help.

Post us a picture up when you are all installed!

Why not pickup one of the Anthem receivers then just add a power amp, say a Primare 30.7.

The 310 is 5.1 only, but then you have the choice of 510 or 710 which are both 7.1, so grab a 510 and put the rest towards the epic power amp.

Nice kit. I personally found the PL's a touch bright but I think a lot of that is down to correct amp matching.

Only other comments is that the D2V is a bit long in the tooth now. With your budget I'd be looking at something like the Datasat RS20i so you an get Atmos/Auro3D support.

And the GXW15 is nowhere near good enough for the rest of the gear. To match the PL's you're looking at something along the lines of a Paradigm Sub2 (sister brand to Anthem) or a couple of DD18's.
