How to Use A Speaker Selector for Multi-Room Audio
Revel's speaker wire size list is a joke... they say 12 ga is only good for 22 feet... 14ga and 12 ga are standard for residential single phase electrical runs... 12 ga can handle 2,200 watts at 110V, that is overkill for a home audio system, now prosound is a different beast.

Dedicated 20 amp outlet
But just because there is a 20A receptacle does not always mean it is on a 20A breaker. Check the breaker that it is on.
