Tim,
If your circuit board is only 20' away from your system, you have the opportunity to run straight from the board into your monoblocks. I did this recently with a Krell, and it works great. I bought the parts for the CVH V4, including cryo'd cables, and bought a gold pin Wattgate IEC 20 amp. I then followed the CVH design, and ran the cable straight from the circuit breaker to the amp, without passing through an outlet. There is no circuit protection in a power outlet, so you are not doing anything 'unsafe'. It cuts out a potentially resistive connection, and provides the RFI protection all the way back to the circuit board, instead of just a short way from the outlet to the amp. Parts were quite expensive, since my run was 25', it came to around $300 with the $100 Wattgate. You would need two runs, since you have monoblocks. In this crazy world of audio hell, I can't think of anything that I've done in my system for $300 that sounded better.
As a tip, to get from the basement circuit board into the listening room, I removed the power outlet, and the back-box on the outlet and retained the outlet cover plate...then just passed the cable through the cover plate and into the basement.
