If it is a class A amplifier, I think that would make sense. But how many people have huge class A amplifiers for their home audio?

Old ones...

Everything from the 60's, 70's, 80's and 90's...

Remember in europe we have a lot more old stuff - especially old houses that are family owned for 100+ years tend not to have things replaced often unless they're unrepairable.

Even modern class D amps can be 30+ watts when not playing anything tho.

That's interesting, I've never thought of people with old houses correlating with old tech.

The much more standard class AB still uses 25% with no output, 100 W idle would be a stereo 200 W amplifier. Or a 5x 80 W surround amplifier.
