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?

Thank you Puerto. I did not choose the JRDG 312 merely because of its efficiency. Rather, its sonic signature enchanted me, and its power efficiency convinced me. Similarly with the Capri, I prefer its sound over that of the ARC Ref 3. . . its mere 6W of power draw is welcome icing on the cake. . . In other words, I am not suffering of any audiophilically painful withdrawl symptoms from the musical Heaven of power guzzlers. . . for me going 'green' has been purely a win/win experience. G.

I live in New England so utilities are expensive. We have managed to save with a highly insulated home with active and passive solar. I'm working on a biodiesel cogeneration system that will get us well off the grid.
Before attacking Obama,those of you who do should search your own souls. You sound like people who do not seem very sensitive about the environment or the impact they might have on it. Bush grievously damaged this country, militarily,environmentally, economically and morally. Obama is left with the task of cleaning out the filth left in the stables by his ignorant and arrogant predecessor. With Global Warming and possible environmental catastrophe lurking, Krell Class A owners might think of using a more modest power source and still enjoy their hobby. Every one is responsible for the fate of the planet and the carbon footprint they leave behind; from SUV drivers to Krell owners. While we are preoccupied with what cd player, amplifiers and turntables to use, Obama will put this country back on track and help save our planet. Let's not forget the big picture as we enjoy our hobby

Dude you off your meds?
You probably need a box of Kleenex, lotion and privacy to watch Keith Olbermann.
RE: How is your power bill?

I saw my neighbor William standing in his yard, cleaning up branches after a recent storm. So I said,

"How is your power, Bill?"

He replied, "Mine's still on, and yours?"

Neither Obama or Bush would ask William that question, I say Albert for President.
I don't recall asking for input on Obama OR Bush in my original thread but I do have to agree with Albert - not sure about the "running for office" thing just yet though. I'll wait for Rush and Keith to weigh in first!!
