Carlos......What is the household voltage in the Dominican Republic?

One thing is certain, a pair of Krell Evo 900e amplifiers will power ANYTHING, but they will each need dedicated circuits. At idle the 900e draw 650 watts from the wall (5.42 amps @ 120V). At full rated output the 900e will draw 5000 watts from the wall (41.67 amps @ 120V). That would require a 50 amp dedicated circuit for each amplifier.

Just guessing about the actual utility cost, but averaging 4kWH consumption at moderate listening levels he will use 8kWH of power per day listening two hours daily. If the utility cost is 15 cents per kWh he will be spending $1.20 per day or $36.00 on average per month. Of course if he is cranking the Evo 900e's continuously, or listening for longer periods of time the cost will rise proportionately.
