His reason was poor vocal reproduction with the Parasound. He had NO problems with 1.7i maggies but DID upon upgrade to 3.7i panels.
My Parasound A23 amps, at 1 per panel work well with my last generation 1.6 panels.

Where I live, 15-amp circuits are wired with 14 gauge wire. 20-amp circuits require the heavier 12 gauge. Putting a 20-amp fuse a circuit designed for 15-amps introduces the possibility of the wires overheating in the walls and potential for fire. Not the kind of "warmup" your equipment needs. I would go with the dedicated circuit.
