BAT REX power consumption

Rtn1,
My concerns are twofold...first in regards to simply the usage of electricity and secondly adding up the wattage consumption, which includes a biamped system, of all the components as it approaches the limits of my 15 amp line. I am not concerned about the "wear and tear on the components"....I'm quite sure theyr'e built to withstand the heat under proper spacing conditions. Also, since most Rex owners seem to leave the unit in standby when not playing their system, is the power consumption reduced?

OK, that's more helpful. How much do you have running on a 15 amp line, and can you get another line to your stereo? It sounds like a single circuit may get overloaded.

My stereo runs on 2 dedicated lines of 10 gauge wire and 20 amp breakers.

Standby uses less, but I'm not sure exactly how much less. That's probably a Victor question.

My understanding is that a 15 amp line can accept between 1650 and 1800 watts, based upon 110-120 volts. I should be safe if the Rex actually consumes 300 watts even with all my sources on at once, although not every component lists power consumption. It's not a dedicated line, but only a few light bulbs rated at 13 to 20 watts are ever on, aside from the audio equipment.

Cut to the chase. Call the designer builder. Victor will answer any question you have. No one here built the pre. Take your questions to the source. Simple right.

Auxetophone,
Did you get a reply from Victor regarding the power consumption?
