How is your power bill?


Recently I moved my equipment to our vacation home south of the border. On average the power bill ran about $12 per month. After setting up the three Krell Amps (fpb 350s and a KSA 150) to drive the Maggie 20.1s, etc. and, in addition to listening to music, starting watching nightly action movies through the system as well. The new power bill was almost $70.00!!

Thoughts? Your experience with this?

Obama will probably institute a heavy tax on tube amps, and completely outlaw Class A.
Rumor has it Obama actually likes tubes. They are hip, look cool as they glow and thereby are good for his image!

I think there may be an "earmark" in that recent stimulus package to fund research for more energy efficient valves, though!
I congratulate you , to have been able to stomach 8 years of Bush and be revolted by Obama after a month shows a refinement of taste that I can only envy. My electric bills have been running about $500 the last three months, which my power company assures me is normal for 2 elderly people and a small dog. I use AB amps which are cool to the touch during play.
Obama is also a big fan of horns as a way to achieve higher DBs with less power consumption.

Invest in Klipsch, Avantgarde and SET amp producers!

If he taxes my power hungry OHMs though, watch out!
Mapman! Sign me up for some Hummers then...and speaking of which, when Hummer is sold off by GM because of the financial crisis maybe they will become even nicer...kinda like the Bentley of SUVs.

Best!
