Kind of painting with a wide brush there...it depends on the
amplifier.

If it's a class D, it's 80% - 95% efficient.  And that's assuming it's
amplifying a signal, if there's no signal it'll hardly consume
anything.

Compare to a class A, which can double as a space heater even when
idle.

Now - to be fair, I haven't heard of studio monitors powered by class D
amplifiers.
