noone says that any hifi amp can use 18kw, except some PA systems maybe.
The average power consumption is maybe between 20 and some 100 watts per hour.
The question is how much energy is required for some impulse reproduction. 18kw means 5W per second, that is 0,005W in a ms.
1000 of these impulses per hour means you need 5W...
I think it is not about the power requirement over a long time but about how fast the energy can be delivered.
Cables and also a power system like the Niagara make a huge difference here, at least that is what I (and others) hear.
