Ah! and thus the 200 fully class A watts XA housed in the formidable X - 1000 chasis. This should give pause to owners of the trim mega watt "class A" amps that abound.
That idle figure gives about a 150 watts of class A continuously. I have a pair running at this moment as I write. They are breathing sublime life into the toughest speaker load known to audio. The blue back lit dial is resting quietly in it's customary ten o'clock idle setting while the music flows at 70 to 80 hertz, my comfort range.
In a house with 62 light bulbs, all of which are left on too much due to kids, the initial extra cost of the monos was absorbed without raising WAF ire, and that is a good thing.
All of the 600 watts are lost to heat when not running. I suppose, at peak 1800 watts, that too eventually winds up as heat. The speakers are huge radiators.
