10AWG is probably the minimum I would use for a new electrical installation. 
A few years ago,  I ran 4-pole 240VAC with #10 over a 60-foot run for use 
with my Alpha amps.   At 1500W, the line voltage sag is okay but not great. 
If I had to do it over again, I would probably double the wire size, then 
meditate real hard before wrestling with the wire pull.  But I think the 
results would be worth the extra pain.
