Don't confuse the amplifier's audio output rating in watts with the AC Power rating. The AC Power rating is how many watts the unit draws from the wall (based on 120VAC in the U.S.).
All HD-130 or HD-150 amps have 4 output tubes. In the Music Man design they are run at high voltage and low bias current, which generates less heat which allows a higher per-tube power dissipation as compared to more standard amplifier designs.
I have heard that there was another site or two with Music Man info on them, but I never heard of another site that strictly specialized in them.
I have been remiss in not putting more info on this site, but I have simply been too busy to do so in the last 6 months. I have a lot of info to create and translate and I hope that this message board will at least in some way compensate for the lack of hard info.
