Can I use this amp in my house?

@jea48 So I live in a rental home and aren't free to add dedicated lines. etc. I am considering buying a stereo amp or a pair of monoblocks that like @alpha_gt described have 20A female IEC and comes with PC with 15A male prongs.  The house is has 1950s-50s era wiring with fuses not circuit brakers if that matters. Should @alpha_gt's experience give me comfort that similar will not cause a problem here, or do I need to go for the smaller amp option with the standard 15A IEC? Cheers,
Spencer

sbank,

What size of amp/s are you looking at?

 I should have mentioned in my last post, just because the manufacture installs a 20 amp IEC inlet on the back of his equipment doesn't mean he had to do it to meet bare minimum electrical industry standards. He may of used the 20 amp IEC inlet because he thought it made a better male to female connection than the 15 amp IEC connectors/connection. When it comes to IEC connectors I don't think there is anything that says he can't. Unlike Nema electrical standards from my experience.

 Just a guess Krell had to on a 300 watt per channel power amp. I believe Krell uses a pretty hefty over built power supply in their amps. If the amp is driven hard will it continuously draw over 12 amps of power without blowing its' AC line fuse, or circuit breaker if that is what it uses? If so then Krell had to use the the 20 amp IEC inlet connector. That is, imo, if it is Listed.

Audio Advisor says: "In fact, the 851W is so powerful that a normal AC power cable can’t deliver the current required. We supply the 851W with its own dedicated, high performance 20 amp AC power cable." 

It’s pretty clear you’ll need 20 amp service to use the full power as designed.

What a load of r****sh

This is it at clipping tested by Newport Labs.

8Ω loads, the 851W was able to deliver 223-watts

4Ω loads, it delivered 351-watts per channel

2Ω loads, and able to deliver 509-watts

The clipping indicators came on right at the onset of clipping
Cambridge pulling more than 200-watts from your mains power supply during normal operation, and nearly 700-watts when you’re listening at high volume levels.

@jea48 Considering Krell FBP300, FBP200, KSA-250, MDA300s or something similar. Cheers,
