Not being in a position, for now, to afford a 4B3, I am considering buying a 2011 4B-SST2 from a local fellow.
When comparing the back panel of the 4B-SST2 to the 4B-SST I've enjoyed for some years, I noticed one striking difference.
The power consumption (if that's the correct term) of the 4B-SST is specified as 2100 VA while that of the 4B-SST2, 550 Watts.
Can any one translate one of those into the other for me? Or explain what they mean?
For now I'm wondering how a class A/B power amp rated at 2 x 500 W into 4 ohms could only draw 550 Watts.
But maybe I just don't understand what I'm reading. . .
Any help appreciated!
