Pioneer VSX-LX305 power usage issues

[peng]

Why?

Will get back to you on this when I get home.

Yes, relays are really loud in LX305. There is a click

The measurement is power drawn from mains socket. Voltage is constant 120V (or 230V) and there is no way to include 8 Ohm for any calculation

Thank you, my silly mistake!

Why?

The "Why": 1) I must have a weak coffee (popej's post woke me up)prior to posting, 2) Missed the part that you said volume was at -40.

At -40 regardless of what you were listening to, the amplifier section likely was outputting very low level, so it is understandable that the measured "power" would roughly = power consumed by the video section and the other overheads (as mentioned by another poster earlier on) and therefore would look a flat fine.

My apology for my silly post that I have since deleted after popej's, to avoid confusing others.

I don't know if this was mentioned but what speakers are you using and what are the nominal impedances?
