My LA4 is connected to a pair of Benchmark AHB2s with a trigger out for each.
The LA4 balanced inputs are connected the Emotiva RMC-1 (HT) and the Benchmark DAC3B (music).
For music, I use only the Benchmark stack, sounds wonderful driving the Salon2s full range.
I use a Pronto Remote activities to turn on the RMC-1 or just the LA4/DAC3B.
The LA4 is configured to turn off the display since it is below my screen and find it distracting for music as well.
My only complaint is that Benchmark does not provide discrete code to select the input so sometimes they misfire input selection.
I can only assume that that the device is difficult to update, otherwise, it seems to be a no brainer to provide an update to select all inputs discretely.
Personally, I would not leave the HPA4/LA4 on 24/7. There is a bright display that can wear.
I suspect that a power surge is worse if the unit is powered on, and they do happen.
