Electric bill dropped by 30% after selling them.
Let's do some Jethro math. According to Stereophile, each consumes 500W maximum which is conveniently 1 kW for a pair. Listen to them say four hours every day running full power @ $.12/kWh which works out to about $15/month. You must have a frugal power bill!
I know there are more reliable designs and brands that run for a long time and need only regular tube replacement.
Yep.
Many.
