How is your power bill?

At the risk of sounding "smug", Class D amps are the equivalent of hybrid or even electric cars in terms of energy consumption.

Similarly spec'ed and much larger Class A amps are like Hummers!

Rumor has it Obama actually likes tubes. They are hip, look cool as they glow and thereby are good for his image!

I think there may be an "earmark" in that recent stimulus package to fund research for more energy efficient valves, though!

Obama is also a big fan of horns as a way to achieve higher DBs with less power consumption.

Invest in Klipsch, Avantgarde and SET amp producers!

If he taxes my power hungry OHMs though, watch out!

Just think of the impact audiophiles could have on world energy consumption if we all dropped our monster amps and switched (no pun) to Class D!

Then again, audiophiles are so few in number overall that it would probably make little difference.

They should really target all those power guzzling mid-fi guys out there! Their amps guzzle power and are not even all that efficient!

I think that the balanced interconnect between liberals and conservatives needs some repair "

Yes, sad isn't it?

My preferred strategy is to stay a moderate and try to stay well informed. If/when the pendulum swings to far one way, then I usually vote to move it back towards the middle.

"No way would I be President,"

Some nice perks though. YOu should see the stereo system at Camp David!

Well, Obama is a very dynamic and omnidirectional kind of guy! But I think he is more into efficiency and innovation so he leans towards music servers, horns and Class D.

Bush was more of an OHM person! Also loved his big power guzzling Class A amps. You should have heard that system! Then one day Dick Cheyney cranked it up and broke it! Darn shame!

Bush was also kinda more old fashioned and loved his vinyl so I hear!

Albert, I suspect once elected you will take Presidential
Audio to a level never before achieved. Presidential photography as well I'd bet. Also, vinyl will rule the land once more!

Just please do not raise my taxes to do it, OK?

Oh, and please provide earmarks (no pork) and tax breaks for OHM and Class D amp owners too, OK?

"First, there will be a Ohm "Speaker of the House", in honor of Mapman"

Very thoughtful, but please, take care of ManBearPig first!
