Can you put a Krell in an apartment?


As you see I am a total "goner" living in a cheap apartment with about 50 grand in Audiophile equipment. I am looking at purchasing an old krell "FPB 400 CX" amp that the manufacturer says needs a dedicated 20 amp line. Can you still run this amp off a regular electrical outlet? If you can, will it sound like crap?

I'm not sure what the 15amp circuit will do to the sound quality but I have run plenty of construction  machinery over 15amp circuits and they trip the breakers constantly. If we run it on a 20amp circuit we do not experience the problem. If you run the Krell on 15amps and someone turns on a microwave or hairdryer or a coffee maker, that's on the same circuit as the receptacle the Krell is on, you may be making trips to the breaker box
You will get all the legally allowed low bass extension you desire . And likely will not draw more than 8 amps anyways. I’m waiting for the electric utility to switch my panel so i will have the 2x 20amp plugs available . Right now i am running 60amps worth of gear off a single 15. You would have to be doing something pretty outrageous to blow it. 
At least with the KRELL when someone tries to steal it they will blow their back out trying to move it. It also can serve as a space heater in the winter. So even though I may be spending 4 grand on a 30 year old amp that probably doesn't sound good anymore it has some other uses. Plus it looks cool. 
I have a friend that used to keep his Harley in his dining room. Only in the winter of course!
     Get the amp and enjoy! Life is too short!!
Standard 12ga wire will carry 20amps with no problem if the amp is the only appliance on that particular circuit. If you dedicate one breaker to the amp, the wiring in the apartment should carry the load without heat build-up. Standard construction code usually requires 12ga wire, but I would check the guage of wire on the outputs of the breakers just to be sure.
