Oh, I don't need it loud at all. And the H/K isn't being overdriven. It's just... I hear things... you know...

I'm thinking about doing the same Ken. I have a HK247 running M60s in a 7.1 setup. Although it does great for me, I think it strains (mainly the center) a tad bit when I listen to movies at high volumes. I do like my receiver, but I am looking for a cheap alternative to give my HK a small boost.
2 = M60,4 = QS8's,1 = VP150,1 = EP350,1 = EP500

your only going to use 1 watt. Seriously, that sounds like a good price ($269 w shipping), only you can decide if you need it or not. Of course, if you say 'no'...the guys here will make you change your mind.

Well, let's call a spade a spade. On sale, it's still $300, assuming they're not dropping the shipping price as well.
I think the extra energy consumption is what worries me most, really. Our bills have been skyrocketing, and this wouldn't help, unless it caused the H/K to draw proportionally less power.

I would think it would. This was the same question I asked in my post on the Emotiva sale. I never really got an answer, but my thinking is this: Outside of some differences in amp design efficiency, if you're pulling 150 watts to get the SPLs you desire, you're going to be pulling that 150 watts through one source or split it between two sources. But ultimately, how loud you play your system is going to determine how many watts your speakers require. If you buy this amp but don't play the system any louder, the difference in watts is likely only +/- 5 watts dependent upon that efficiency. Hopefully someone will correct me if I'm wrong!

The other question would be whether the H/K has an output I can use as a trigger. It doesn't look like it from the manual. I think I saw something somewhere about how to make your own, from the switched outlet? Am I insane?
