How ever hiding T-amps is very clever especially if you already have speakers , just be carefull with the fire hazard . Then auto sensing is needed or you have to have a power button where you can reach it .
There are other solutions iTach has relay boxes that can be used with for example iRule app for iPhones , I already use this system for IR and RS232 connectivity with my Hi-Fi , these matchbox size things use wifi or ethernet to talk to the app . My solution for the less critical listen places are reasonably priced active speakers . However I have not investigated their power consumption , maybe i should . The ADAM A3x i use at my computer has Class T or D amp chips probably dont use as much as if they had traditional amps . I like this adam speaker I'll probably replace the fostex in my kitchen with this one (if I can find a home for the fostex ) *cough* I dont dare to investigate the standby by power of my complete Meridian system :/ it's probably not very green , it's sliding bias class A/B amps so efficient for traditional amps but not near class D efficiency . Reuse old speakers for secondary zones is a great idea , If you want to make a minimal carbon footprint one should however run the mini stereo until it gives up the ghost before replacing , Or give it sell it somewhere else so that it gets used instead being recycled . The actual act of producing and shipping new stuff consume large amounts of energy ,that should go into the equation to . I give away stuff before going to the recycling place , you may be surprised ? When asking people at my workplace there is always some one that needs an extra dvd player or something . I did recycle a whole bunch of audiophile cables though , I judged that as the best thing to do with them . -------------------------------------------------------------------- Main hifi: Touch + CIA PS +MeridianG68J MeridianHD621 MeridianG98DH 2 x MeridianDSP5200 MeridianDSP5200HC 2 xMeridianDSP3100 +Rel Stadium 3 sub.
