More than likely it only draws 300 watts at full power output. Probably a lot less at idle and playing at moderate levels.
Why does my 35 watt tube amp draw 300 watts of power
Hi,
I have a Prima Luna Prologue 1 (tube amp). Love it.
Always been curious though. It draws 300 watts of power, yet is rated at 35 watts / channel. Is it really so inefficient that it is losing 230 watts to heat?
