Re: Power consumption roughly 2.5 times the total output power

I believe I am right on this, when ON it will draw 80 watts, 1.5 amps, all the times it is on. That is the draw from your meter, so if it is on 24/7 it will draw 1920 watts a day. Any peak watt draws come from the caps and won't be reflected by the meter. An A/B amp has a low draw until power is needed, then demand goes up. The class A amp will all so produce more heat into the room. I use a class A Threshold 100 watt amp that runs the front speakers in my HT I like the fast responce that a class A amp delivers.
