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 would get a house, or a cabin, where you can install a true dedicated 20 amp circuit, and also, have the benefit of non connecting walls with others. If Krell recommends a dedicated 20 amp line, with your current apartment, this would not be the amp for you. Usually, ime, 20 amp circuits require heavier gauge in wall wiring. If I recall, the attached power cord, has a 20 amp plug. 
 Real estate advice ?...50 K worth of gear. A cheap, 500 sf apartment, in the hood. IME, the room, makes, or breaks, a system, both acoustically, and electrically. I stand by my recommendations.
