Class A Amp owners, Whats your power bill?


I was curious to see how much a cost in power a month it went up when you bought a high powered Class A Amplifier. Also what is your impedance?

I cant help but think of Krell KSA-100's for about a G that would be great for winter time (Not so great for summer). And nows the time to buy one whn some one doesnt want to deal with the heat issues anymore (Hopefully)

Any way I figure it draws 800 +/- minus watts at IDLE! how much power you think I am pulling if I run it at a mostly 4 Ohm load when playing reasonably loud?

Thanks a million

I hear the power companies are now sending out upgrade to class A amp checks. The program is intended to help audiophiles who wish to upgrade to a class A amp. The program works according to my power company. They will access your system for free and then make a suggestion to which class A amp would work best in your system/room.Then when you turn your class A/B or D amp over at their amp change center. Then they the power company will cut you a check to the upgrade path for a class A amp..this program might not be in your area as of yet?
