Hello,
I have what might be considered an oddball question for owners of late model Luxman integrated amps: have you observed whether there is a change in your amp's power consumption when the speaker selector switch is set to Off? I am wondering if the power amp section is turned off in this circumstance or if it remains on in a ready state. For example, Luxman's website states that the L-509Z draws 150W "under no signal" and 0.5W on standby. With the speaker output turned off (to use headphones or to use the unit as a preamp) would it still use a minimum of 150W? I would at least imagine that peak consumption would be lower in these cases.
If you've bothered to read this far, thanks for your time! I consider this post a bit of a long shot but worth a try.
