Some people might be conserving energy. As for me, I always use my Axioms, too.

I almost always have my full system on. The exception is when I'm sleeping on the couch and want to put the TV on a sleep timer.... since there aren't any receivers with a sleep timer, I just use the TV alone.

I've been meaning to investigate if the auto power off on no signal of the TV can trigger the CEC to turn off the receiver. That way the auto-off of the PS3 will drop the signal to the TV, and then the TV will tell the receiver to turn off (which is the only thing left running).

I'm picky towards speech. Television programs and commercials is mostly speech and compressed at that. I don't need to hear excessive sibilance flipping from station to station . I will only put it on for certain programs. I like it for baseball because I like to hear the crowd noise coming out of the surrounds.
I’m armed and I’m drinking. You don’t want to listen to advice from me, amigo.

Auto racing sounds weird in surround. I use it anyway. With the way my TiVo is hooked up, I can't use the internal speakers on the TV.

My Onkyo has a sleep timer. Another option is a Harmony Remote, my 900 has a sleep timer built in (and my onkyo does too)

I don't even think I know what my TV speakers sound like. My system is used 100% of the time.
