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.

Magfan .. Monster has a power stablizer that meters and displays power consumption . I no longer have mine but it was very interesting to observe .
Krells run hot and use lots of power . Levinson also did but they fixed that a few generations ago .
