Can I use this amp in my house?


I've been looking at a power amplifier that has a 20 amp power cable. The tech specs say its maximum power consumption is 2400 watts. Would I need to have special wiring in the house to run this amp? If so, what would I need?

Thanks very much.

@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,

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