Has categorically stated that the 20 amp circuit "requirement" for the XPR Series of amps is only there to satisfy bench testing requirements which in no way mimic real-world use. There are many XPR users running their amps on 15 amp circuits with absolutely no problems.

Curious? Does the manufacture of the amp supply the power cord with the amp? I am guessing not. Is the IEC power inlet on the amp a 20 amp?

For some strange reason you can buy a Listed power cord that has a NEMA 5-15P amp plug on one end and a 20 amp IEC connector on the other end. Makes no sense to me.

Try buying a Listed cord with a NEMA 5-15P 15 amp plug on one end with a 5-20R receptacle on the other end. You can't.
