Audio connectors are quite useful for signals though I've kept them away from power because of lack of standards regarding current handling (the exception being speaker terminals). I.e. different brands of XLRs have different power ratings. Just a case of making sure you get the right datasheets if you're going to push it :-)
I used to think of Anderson connectors for high currents and camper vans, electric buggies etc, but their smallest set are 15A and you can fit 4 of them in the same space as an XLR connector making them surprisingly space efficient. They are expensive though. Mind you that suits this hobby quite well doesn't it.
