It's not completely outlandish to imagine that noisy power could cause noise in the audio output of an amplifier.

I would hope that any good quality amp would filter the incoming power, though.

Yes, if it does, it's because of crappy (eg cheap) design. Any amplifier designer should assume that the mains power is very, very noisy.

I'm guessing that good quality amps for the install market are designed to be part of system where these concerns are taken into account.
