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 let a friend store his Harley in my basement ( I live on a hill so it a walk in bsmt.) one winter. then he came to pick it up, he started it in the house rather than pushing it out first.

Wife just came down and gave me the "look".  Storage depot closed for business.

Get some big  Boulders. They play loud and strong and you can keep clothes only while listening.  However, they will burn down your credit rating.
Boulder 850s ( now discontinued) might be a great "apt. amp'   Small 40 lb boxes, run cool, I think they sound great with proper preamp .

They are rated at 200 w/ch but fight above their weight.  Some people find them to dry but I prefer the power amp remain neutral and adjust the tone of the system via, front end componets and cabling.

Look around. They pop up used now and then
