[QUOTE="RR, post: 26162"] I use a 12A (i.e. 2700W (3000VA)) unit at home, also operated during power failures from 2 x 200AH batteries. It fixes my voltage at 230V, mains incomer in Potch sometimes drops as low as 215V :o :o. It is more than enough for the ML33H's, although these Class A buggers consume 700W [b]each[/b] at normal listening volumes and about 600W at idle (Damn Class A, but only damned for this). Cold unit start up current is however seriously high. 14A per unit, so I have to do it one at a time. The AC regenerator can handle up to 25A start up currents while on-line and 18A whilst running of batteries (probably not pure sine wave then but clipped). Mervin, one thing I can assure you, you won't easily damage any ML stuff with shitty voltage. They simply trip, even with a dead short over either AC in or speaker out. Tested by some hobo at stereophile. [/QUOTE]
