I didn't go any louder because 30 watts output into the Anniversario's is rocking the room. This just gives you an idea of what a single amp draws. Both of my MC2301's are powered from a PurePower 2000, so the combined total for both amps is 520 watts current draw when the amplifier outputs are peaking at 30.0 watts. This means the PurePower 2000 is just loafing along.
Thanks Dan. You're one step ahead of the boys at Mc....but you usually are (remember the MEN220)?
