How much of the reserve will this help out the RM20
As it stands My RM 20 came with 2 ac power cords.
1 - 15amp in use......
1- 20amp

I will be connecting my 2 new Paradigm Sub1 's to my RM 20. The ac power cords going to my RM 20 will be 12/2 shielded.
My 2 4bsst2s have never clipped ..... I'm thinking that putting in a 20Amp dedicated circuit will resolve all of my worries

As of now my Sub1's are plugged in a 15 amp circuit as well in the same room where my Rm20 is plugged. They are on the same circuit.

Feedback would be great..
Regards Robert

Robert,is everything going thru the Torus(subs,amps ect).
The reason I ask is when I had the 3X7Bsst's and two 4Bsst's+2XDD15's going thru a 15a Torus,everything sounded normal(with dedicated line).
I was using Hydra 6 before,with hydra 2's one for each amp and subs(also dedicated).I couldn't hear a difference between the two,UNTIL.........................
I put in another 20a Torus.
What an upgrade that was,I guess the 15a couldn't give what the amps and subs wanted.
Someone had said to me that having gobs of power in reserve for the amps makes a huge difference.
Gotta tell ya it's not suttle.
I'm thinking what the difference would be for you is your 15a line(non dedicated) and a dedicated 20a line......NO hitch hikers on the dedicated(fridge,air conditioner and your God forbid your swimming pool heater .
PS:I should add, that  before I had a F-113 sub on a dedicated 20a line(no Torus)and we had a thunder storm here,guess what,the F-113 was toast.
All the rest of  my gear including subs were fine,that I can be quite positive that the Torus had protected everything.
Those subs and I assume yours have digital components in them,which I think can be quite sensitive to a swift kick in the pants from mother nature.
