I know the Odyssey amps are designed to be left on 24/7, and I see that the power consumption of a Stratos Extreme Stereo is 35w. I think in my first conversation with Klaus, he said it's less power consumption than leaving a 60w lightbulb on. Did I get that right? Or should I expect higher power bill?
Another question is this - I understand the amp is designed to be plugged straight into the outlet. I am concerned about this because I live in Florida and thunderstorms can come and go throughout the day during the summer. Shouldn't I use some kind of surge protection?
