That's very helpful, thanks. It lead be (indirectly) to the Advent AV570 (which you can find at J&R on Amazon), which has good reviews and also features auto-on. There's some evidence that these speakers are in some way related to the old Audio Research line, but it's a little hard to follow. >I've got some Mackie 824 studio monitors that are also very >nice and auto detect.

Even the Advents (at $240 US) are a little more than I had in mind, but I'd rather pay more up front and have them switch themselves off when not in use than gradually bleed electricity over many years :).
