Stereo is warmed up.

I turned my stereo on Wednesday morning, and it has been on since then. Now it is Saturday night. Anyway, it has been a while since it has been continuously on for this long, and I just want to say that “It sounds fantastic.” Too bad leaving it on for days really runs up the electric bill. :)

    Not to mention all that damage to the environment due to global warming. You really need to work on reducing your carbon footprint.

    Yes, for the first twenty watts or so.

    Except if you live anywhere near California. We have had enough 'burn' for a while, but thanks anyway.

    I'm assuming you have two for 2 channel? That's 1200 watts of consumption. Kind of an expensive space heater...

    That is certainly true. I only do this in the winter since the stereo heats the house, so I don’t need to run the furnace.

    One for each 4 ohm speaker, two total, so the output is 1200 Watt per speaker, 2400 watts total. :)

    Anyway, they are off now until Friday morning. Then they will warm up all day for Friday night.
