Outlet Requirements


I had my old house’s wiring upgraded to include two 20A outlets and one 30A outlet for dedicated audio equipment.  It may have been overkill but it’s done.  I recently acquired a pair of ML no. 436s, a McIntosh C2700, and a pair of MG 3.5r.  My question is do I have to run each amp to separate outlets or can one 20A outlet handle a pair of amps.  Associated equipment is PS Audio Perfect-wave Direct Stream Jr/PS Audio Perfect-wave transport, Oppo Blu-ray player, Bluesound Node X streamer, Revel F52 speakers, and two REL T/9x Subs.  I also have a Furman 15 elite power conditioner.  Could anyone offer suggestions as to the best way to connect these components?  Thank you.

Keep in mind that most of us barely ever ask our amps to produce more than 20-30 watt peaks, so as long as you power on your amps in sequence instead of all at once you could run all of them from 1x 15A line. 

You mentioned the outlets but not the wiring.

Do you have 3 circuits, running to 3 separate receptacles?

ANd what was your thiking about the 30A outlet??
