Idle Power


Why do home theater components seem to draw so much energy while idle, and what is the best ways to limit this. I have 2 electrostatic speakers and 3 powered subs, that all use idle power, but it seems that my receiver probably draws the most power while idle.

2- Infinity Audio PS210 Powered Subs to go with Electrostats
1- Definitive Audio CLR2300 Center Channel
