Question for Swan m10 owners

[furio]

Hi,
Finally got my Swan m10s.
I was just wondering if people leave them powered on 24/7?

Do they use much power when not playing music?

And should they make a kind of thud sound when powered on and off (it's worse when powering off)?

Cheers!

I don't. I always flip the switch off anything I'm not using. I rarely ever leave my computer on standby instead of shutting it down.

At "0" volume, it uses 7-8 watts. At "normal" listening levels, it's between 8-12 watts. "Off" is around 0 watts. This is measured using my Kill-A-Watt P3.

Yep, there's a thud sound. It's usually louder turning on than off.

Yeah, I usually flip it off when I turn my tower off/put it into standby

Also, there is a "thud" or "pop" that happens sometimes. It's probably from electrical build up or something. Notice that if you turn the speakers off while it's playing music, you can hear the music playing for a second or 2 after the speakers are turned. Probably has something to do with capacitors or the built-in amp.
