How is your power bill?

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!

Just think of the impact audiophiles could have on world energy consumption if we all dropped our monster amps and switched (no pun) to Class D!

Then again, audiophiles are so few in number overall that it would probably make little difference.

They should really target all those power guzzling mid-fi guys out there! Their amps guzzle power and are not even all that efficient!

Not sure what my power bill is. . . but I suspect the impact of my system must be negligible. . . I have left on my complete stereo (JRDG 312 class D amp, Capri pre, X-01 CDp) on at full power since Christmas and my wife just noticed it yesterday. . . no complaints about the power bill. . . BTW. . . when several years ago I left on my JRDG 7Ms for 2 weeks. . . I was nearly victim of hostile divorce proceedings. G.
