15 amps or 20 amps outlet


I'm in the process of installing a dedicated line plus Acme outlet in my house and was wondering if there's any benefits in choosing a 20 amps outlet over a 15 amps one. I have a Big 350 watts amplifier. Also, any advise on a good, not too expensive wire is appreciated . Thanks in advance.

In theory, a 20 amp outlet SHOULD be a little beefier. I would go that route if the price difference is minimal. Sean

Bigger is better. When I wired my theater room, I actually ran three dedicated 20 amp circuits behind my stack. I also used hospital outlets. The wired that I used was 10 gauge bought at the local hardware store.
I have a dedicated 20 amp line for my Krell 100s and have also used it with a dedicated 15 amp line. I honestly did not notice a difference. But for the price of material I would go with the 20 again.
