Steve.......Unless your two dedicated circuits have #10 AWG wire from the panel to each receptical I would not install 30 amp single-pole circuit breaks in place of the 20 amp circuit breakers. It could create a fire hazard and it is against the National Electric Code to do so.

With the 30 amp single pole circuit breakers installed, the correct size wire installed and 30 amp single phase outlets you will be in better shape for the breakers to handle the inrush current the amplifiers demand when energized. It is highly unlikely you will ever push the amplifiers with music to cause the Evo 900e's to require the 5000 watts (41.66 amps) at 120 volts so 30 amp single pole circuit breakers will serve you much better than your present arrangement. I suggest you contact a licensed electrician or electrical contractor to get the work done correctly and to code. Do it once, do it right.
