What happens if I plugged a 20amp unit..15amp outl

What happens if I plugged an amplifier that requires a 20amp outlet to a 15 amp outlet? I know it will power up and play until you crank....

Trust me I would love to have a 20 amp circuit installed and have no doubt that the dynamics, etc would improve with one. All I am saying is that I have never had the 15amp breaker trip. Actually I am running the Krell and two Parasound JC-1s off the same circuit now and it still has not triped. I'm getting ready to move and plan on having several 20amp circuits installed in my new home theater room.
