I wonder if there is anyone who has had experience with the N.E.W. in an owners perspective. I know it sound weird to have 35 run of the mill batteries powering an amp and 20+ other same type batteries running the preamp, nevertheless, I wonder if running tubes and class A amps, which do make a dent in the wallet as the environment as would the wasted batteries be on the same league....It is simply a different way of spending our greenbacks. I have read in the Final company website that if one listens to the stereo set up, 2 hours a day with fairly efficient speakers (96db+) the set would last about 6 months. I calculate the expense in batteries to be about a max of $100 to load a set, $100 in 6 months does not seem so reasonable. Let us think about all the insane amounts of money people spend in REFERENCE type powercords...some at 2k each!
