Struck me tonight reading through the “Sublime” post that there was talk of some hifi items running hot and potentially consuming lots of mains power. Is this a sustainable model for our beloved hifi manufacturers.
For many here I suspect it’s a (financial) price you’re happy to pay and for many not an issue. But with ever increasing fuel costs would we welcome a change in direction with manufacturers producing low consumption goods for driving highly efficient speakers?
I’m sure I caught a review of a tv a year or so back claiming to be somewhat more efficient for its size (may have been a Philips model not sure) but heard and read no more about it. Then there were EU regs for vacuum cleaners a few years ago as well.
I guess if you want the watts out you need to consume watts first be that with hifi or televisions. Of course we may be such a small demographic it makes sod all difference but can we see the next generation happy to have music in their homes that spins the lecky meter like it’s a 78!
