dllewel connoisseur Registered: 06/20/05 Posts: 1189 Loc: Utah, USA	I was very surprised to take some power readings from my Lexicon AVR... About 40 watts just on standby! 80 watts turned on but idle, and about 100 to 200 watts (dynamic) for some pretty good listening levels. _________________________ -Dave M80s VP150 QS8s EP500s ravenmanor.com/cinema/

Ken.C shareholder in the making Registered: 05/03/03 Posts: 17376 Loc: NoVA	So does my 525. That said, it's on whenever the TV's on--since the TiVo goes through it, there we are... _________________________ DON'T... call me stupid!
