Am I off base thinking amps could get smarter and idle down when not needed. My cats love sitting on the top shelf of the HiFi rack because on the shelf below is a great heat monster burning up my power bill 24/7/365.
Is there a Energy Star rating for HiFi systems.
I get that it needs to burn power to get the audio out. This is not a Bryston and I don't put coins in the fusebox to bypass protection ((this is an old wives tale)and shows my seniority there) but it does waste a substantial amount of energy just waiting to amplify that sound all day.
Is there a certain class of amp I should be looking at? Class D?
Possibly a NAD system? Do they still exist?
I am considering multi-room 4 or 5 rooms with upper MidFi to HiFi approach and always on for announcements. Ceiling speakers in at least 2 locations.
