Power consumption

[TDA]

Some pure class A amplifiers can use huge amounts of power.  A 200wpc class A could draw over a kilowatt.  It could get as hot a a one kilowatt heater too, which might be nice in cold climates but anywhere warm you would need to add in the cost of air conditioning too.  So as a Devialet is one of the very few amplifiers to sound as good as pure class A, it could be considered an environmental triumph!

this is great
