| Warm Up Time/Cost of Operation Luxman Class A owner here, 400 watt dissipation when on. Usually allow 30 min warm-up; leave on most of the day on weekends. Keeps the room nice and warm during the winter. | |
| Rel t9x or Rythmik F12G Amazing how someone can state "already overpowering the room" without any evidence. I'm currently using a REL S510, located in my room's primary bass node, which is located right next to my seating position. Completely invisible with my Forte IV... | |
