I just measured the power coming out of the hospital grade outlets that I use for my system. It only measures 116v. Is this an issue that could affect the sonics of my system?

It isn't an issue. Line voltage fluctuations are common on a daily and seasonal basis. Nothing you can do about them, except for possibly complain to your utility company. 116VAC is pretty darn good. Use a line filter, power conditioner and/or an isolation transformer if your AC voltage is dirty/noisy. Make sure all your house wiring contacts and connections are tight, free of corrosion all the way from your electric meter to your breaker panel to your outlets. That way you'll get the maximum current transfer.

Thanks for all the input. Just didn't know if it was important or not. THnaks again.

I measured one socket that was not being used while the system was in use.

The national standard specifies that the nominal voltage at the source should be 120 V and allow a range of 114 to 126 V (-/+5%). The power supply of any modern electrical device should not be effected by the variation... your 116V line is within spec.

When you measured the voltage did you have the audio system turned on and playing music at your normal listening level? The circuit needs to be loaded for an accurate loaded measurement.Next how is the calibration of the meter you used?
116 volt is fine....
