Just a creature of habit and laziness. I have always left my SS amps on so I continue to do so. Also the pre has a dc output which triggers the amps so if I leave the pre on then the amps are also on. As far as wasting electricity, the power draw of the amps in idle is about 15W each and the efficiency of the amps is about 85%. Relative to a Class A that is on intermittently, I say I am still in the "green" camp.
