| Electric bill any high Get a kill-a-watt on Amazon a check. My system draws at idle -300w and a full on like 800w. Forgot what it is on standby | |
| 15k USD Speakers for Classical and Pop Extended Listening, Near setup, Low volume Low volume listening favors high efficiency drivers. Check the newest Tocaro 48. Its a 15" full range driver.
