Subwoofers: Do you turn them off when you are done for the day?


It just occurred to me last night as I was putting various amps into standby mode before going to bed that I only turn off my subwoofers when I am going to be away from home for a few days or more. (I disconnect all my components from the wall in those cases.)  

All my amps are solid state and their respective manufacturers have all advised to switch them to standby if you are not listening to them, even if you plan to listen again in a few hours.  Why do I not do that with the subwoofers (all RELs: one Class D, 2 Class A/B)?  Seems like one should. (And I did last night.)

What do you all do?

No, they go into standby mode. I turn all of my equipment off when I travel or if there's a bad thunderstorm. 

I had B&W subwoofers for nearly thirty years... and they put themselves in standby mode when no signal was detected, so I would be hard to imagine anything from this millennium does not. 

@ghdprentice REL T/x9 do not. The Carbon Special has a toggle switch for the user to choose between allowing standby mode or always on.
