10 W at idle is quite a lot for something with a 90 W Class D + 15 W Class AB amp (I mean, my old K+H O110s are at 11 W each and all AB), so that 24/96 DSP goodness may be slightly power hungry. They do apparently have a sleep mode at 3.5 W, though available documentation does not mention any kind of auto standby
It's conceivable that the power draw will be less in practice (through a kill-a-watt meter) than stated in their specs, but disappointing if they don't include an 'auto-off' feature considering the use of class AB amplification, I agree.(Since I've gotten my PC at home to 15 W at idle and around 20 W lightly loaded, its power draw is being dwarfed by my peripherals, so I'm slightly sensitive to this issue now...)
