Tom ... I vote yes and did so myself. The amp just loafs along and probably prefers that voltage. However, properly configured at the transformer, it runs fine on 120v which is what I power it when portable for Boy Scout events. At some point you may want a 1500w amp which will definitely need 240v. Might as well do it at today’s electrician rates than tomorrow’s.
