Wayne's BA 2018 linestage

I searched the thread but could not find how much current will a pair of these boards consume at 18vdc power if I am providing with Salas PSU boards. I need to set the required CCS on the Salas psu to test these boards out. But I am presuming it may not be more than 100mA but correct if it isn't.

Thanks

Wayne says 25mA per channel in post #153
 
Yes, thank you I observed that also that R11/R12 emitter resistors can be lowered to 15 ohm for higher bias? …..If I go for the larger transistors then why not let them "work hard"? …..if possible without additional heatsink...….or I could get some of the small clip-on heatsinks. I could also just stay with 27 ohm if higher bias is of no benefit such as lower distortion.
