30 amp receptacle for Krell 700cx

I will soon recieve a 700cx and was told to use a 30 amp circuit for this amp.I also concur as I may run 2.7ohm speakers later.I would like to know what receptacle is best for this amp.I have no problems with power out of my panel and 10gauge wiring(I currently have 4 20amp circuits).
thanks john

What does the 30 amp AC plug look like on the Krell?

There are many different types of 30 amp plugs and receptacles.... What is the NEMA number given for the plug?

I presume it is a stock plug,regular style,but Krell said you can plug it in a 30amp service..This is where i am confused and is why I was looking for fellow 600/700 cx owners with a dedicated 30amp receptacle

It may well be a 20 amp plug, I have them on my CJ 350 and MF M3 amps and neither is quite as big as the Krell. It uses a different pin configuration than the standard 15 amp. I am using a 30 amp breaker , 8 gauge stranded wire and a 20 amp receptacle in my dedicated line project.
