[1000mp] FS: Mint 1000MP

Tue, 20 Aug 2002 17:23:43 -0700

Brian's observations re: power may be OK for some or even most ops, 
but they don't make a lot of sense if you're driving an amp - or ever 
want to.

My Henry 3KA took only 100 watts drive as I recall. My 30L1 requires 
no more than 100W fpr 600 watts out, and the Alpha - - - one-half of 
that - or 50 watts for legal maximum 1500 Watts.

It's often a temptation to generalize, but - - -
