Krell Power Consumption

Hi,

I'm a bit new to ultra high end. I'm considering a Krell Evolution 402. One thing that jumps out at me is the power consumption in standby. The manual says it draws over 300 watts in stand by and recommends that you leave it on all the time. 300 watts 24/7. Good grief. Is this bogus or just the price you pay for a serious amplifier?

thanks for any advise.

I am amazed!
Owned FPB 600c and KPS 25sc, sold teh combo and bought 700cx + KCT and KPS 28c. I liked the 700cx and KCT, not KPS 28c (sadly) though. Still, i have not heard EVO line in my home system, but i thought it was more musical than cx series. Weird EVOlution i must say!
I would like to hear 700cx + KCT with ARC CD8.
Good info guys.
Also would like to hear the latest top of the line Jeff Rowland power + pre.
