Oh right. I've just had a look at the brochure. This is HEAVY
"lifestyle" stuff :-) And those powered speakers have "2500 watts of
digital amplification". At least you wouldn't need central heating as
well.

They use highly efficient digital switching amps, and run very cool.
Unlike the overkill Class A amps that will heat your house for a 250
w/ch amp. Or even better, I had a Pass Zen single ended MOSFET amps,
that dissipated something like 300 watts for a 7 watt per channel amp.
