Electrical Question - dumb one - but a good one

I am looking at an amp that has a 20 amp iec connection. I realize that my current power cord will not work - and I'm looking into have that '' retro-fitted '' with a 20 amp iec connection.....My question is ; '' the connection end at the wall - does the wiring, recepticle have to be changed because the amp end is now 20 amp iec, or does that stay the same and is okay as is '' ? Thank you.....

I'm not aware of any home amplifier that exceeds 15A draw but some come close, at least momentarily. That's one reason for monoblocks, but even those are usually built for the same 15A circuit. Yours might be the exception.
