[QUOTE="Raven, post: 981477, member: 558368"] Well, even that is subjective. While efficiency is defined as "the capability of acting or producing effectively with a minimum of waste, expense, or unnecessary effort." that in itself is relative. Where am I getting at? At full output an amp is usually much more efficient than any other time. I've heard of A/B amps getting 95% efficieny at full output, but at normal listening levels, that could drop to 40% or less. That said, efficiency in an amplifier is never a really large concern. I wouldn't worry about it. [/QUOTE]
