Every new home constuction that I have looked at uses 14 gauge "Romex" 
style cable to feed multiple outlets. Even if this were used for a 
single dedicated outlet, it would still not be satisfactory for 30 amps.

I have seen dryer outlets with 50 amp circuit breakers. Assuming the 
wiring was done properly, this would supply the current you need for the 
amplifier without excessive voltage sag. A 10 gauge extension cord would 
supply plenty of current to the amplifier, however if there were a fault 
in the extension cord, a 50 amp circuit breaker might not pop before the 
extension cord starts a fire. It would be safer to replace the 50 amp 
breaker with a 30 amp one, provided the work is done by someone who 
knows how to do it safely.

YES!
