Hi all, What wattage is a 2pill amp. Over here on this side of the pond linear amps are generally referred to in Watts or Whiskies and multiples thereof, whereas on your side of the pond its generally refered to as 2pill 4pill 6pill etc etc...... What does it all mean? Thanks folks.
 

The term pill is how many transistors are in the amp. Typically 2879's
On average, depending on drive level and voltage you can expect 1-200 watts per pill.
