From the manual describing the Levinson's button-operated standby mode:

Because voltage gain stages are kept at their normal operating temperatures, the No432/431 remains warmed-up to deliver an optimal performance. In standby, the No432/431 consumes about 50W of power."
Brilliant! I wonder if the Classe CA-M600 amps I'm looking at do that??
