How is your power bill?


Recently I moved my equipment to our vacation home south of the border. On average the power bill ran about $12 per month. After setting up the three Krell Amps (fpb 350s and a KSA 150) to drive the Maggie 20.1s, etc. and, in addition to listening to music, starting watching nightly action movies through the system as well. The new power bill was almost $70.00!!

Thoughts? Your experience with this?

I don't recall asking for input on Obama OR Bush in my original thread but I do have to agree with Albert - not sure about the "running for office" thing just yet though. I'll wait for Rush and Keith to weigh in first!!
Puerto, at least you understand why I was poking fun.

Regardless of who is (or was) President, there will be thousands and thousands of unhappy people. No one in that high office can make everyone happy and a post at Audiogon is not likely to change anyone's mind.
Anyone smart enough to be President would never think they actaully should be President............the smartest dont have that Dueschebag superiority defect or level of arrogance that feeds us leaders like we have had and do have today.
That's why I want to be President, I have that Dueschebag superiority defect and level of arrogance.

Make that douche bag superiority, Dueschebag is the life saving crash device in the steering wheel of a Duesenberg.
Hmmmm, I was talking about you but you can take it that way if you wish. All the same I doubt you would bow to a Saudi King, take over control of major banks and industry nor explore the Cap and trade scam so you may get my vote, you may tell folks here you would do that so you stay popular but based on our phone conversations I suspect you to be too smart for that.
I'm more interested in having fun with these threads. The world is far too messed up for ordinary people like you and I to have much effect.

No way would I be President, I'm not qualified nor would I want the pressure and stress. Regardless of our Presidents decision (ANY US Presidents decision) half of our citizens and most of the rest of the world thinks he has screwed it up.
"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.

Second, there will be higher salaries for all photographers, so Jax2 and I can finally make a decent living.

Third, Bill Clinton will return with Monica, both wearing raincoats. This is the best I can do to get Politicians into vinyl.

The good news? Monica can easily wash those stubborn stains away with a wash cloth, saving hundreds on dry cleaning.

Very thoughtful, but please, take care of ManBearPig first!
I think that the balanced interconnect between liberals and conservatives needs some repair - a certain level of distortion is now readily discernable as the clarity and resonance of the presentation is fading. . Maybe I'm sitting too far to the right of center to get the best appreciation for the system but IMHO some improvements or upgrades are needed. (I don't recommend any Chinese products) There has to be a campaign slogan in there somewhere for Albert!

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.
