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.
BAT REX power consumption
I'm considering moving to a BAT REX, but have some concerns regarding the power consumption. The specs indicate 470 watts total between the power supply and main chassis. Even the 52SE puts out 250 watts. I don't think I've seen any preamp putting out more than 100 watts, with most consuming considerably less. Is this something, outside of increasing one's electric bills, to be concerned about?
