Tube amps are only 5% efficient. If you want efficiency, the class D amps are the most efficient.
Why does my 35 watt tube amp draw 300 watts of power
Hi,
I have a Prima Luna Prologue 1 (tube amp). Love it.
Always been curious though. It draws 300 watts of power, yet is rated at 35 watts / channel. Is it really so inefficient that it is losing 230 watts to heat?
