What wattage is flea wattage?
I often see the term flea watt amp, but do not know what the cut off
point for this is. What is the threshold between flea watts and the rest? Wattage? No wonder you are confused. 750 Fleapower = 1 Watt 750 Watts = 1 Horsepower Anything up to 1W should be measured in Fleapower. Over 1.33 Watts must be measured in Watts. For powers from 1 to 1.33W, it's optional. The challenge of flea power is the matching of amp to speakers to space. I gather this is not just about power requirements and impedance. I assume there must be many characteristics that must mesh somehow. If you want to hear the difference when you swap valves, flea power is the way to go. Less tight and more euphonious, I guess, if you get it right. cheers, Ian |
