Well, I'm giving full use estimates. Truthfully many people won't hit it, and doing so doesn't cause any problems aside from audibility if you get too much saturation. The saturation isn't constant, either.
I'll try not to be too overwhelming with it. I know from when I'm trying to get answers and get convoluted replies for things, it can get old.

No worries.
It's just "once a year" at most *if* I decide to carry my 6 x 15" setup outside. Accounting for some losses and peripherals, I get to around 1kw total.
Better to calculate some headroom, If it's 1kw on peaks only and not constant, then everything should work well when built for 1kw constant load.
Most likely the total load will never be more than 150-250w max on transients.

AC line filters should be placed as close to each hi-fi component's chassis as possible.
Attached to the compont's chassis is best but hard to do. One hi-fi component per filter.

That could be a good plan, near where the AC cord enters the chassis. The shorter the wires before the filter the better.
I have a bajillion Bourns 8118 (9.3A 7.3mH) lying around from the original Felix. Can these be used instead of the 8120?
Oh you just mean you have two transformwrs. One per channel right?
I would use one per transformer.
I would use one per transformer.
Sure i will use one transformer per amp channel.
Each transformer is 250VA with 230V in and 2 x 24V out. Which choke model should be chosen ? How many EMI pcb be used better ?

Ok.
The 5A Comoco would work for you. Having higher voltage is an advantage for CMC's. But the Bournes would be just fine as well.
