Older non-ICE speakers will use a little more - a Beolab 8000 takes 1.8W for example - but the combined standby consumption of a BM/BS5 and two speakers should still stay under five watts. An ADSL router will probably use more!</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/292468.aspxTue, 31 Aug 2010 13:52:14 GMT41a2a90c-3a1e-4bd3-b144-3883695a7f38:292468Maier, Wolfram0https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/292468.aspxhttps://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=53&PostID=292468<p>Thanks for your response.

Most B&amp;O kit has been designed that way.</p> <p>BTW with the same caveats, your computer stays in standby as well!</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/292448.aspxTue, 31 Aug 2010 10:56:53 GMT41a2a90c-3a1e-4bd3-b144-3883695a7f38:292448Maier, Wolfram0https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/292448.aspxhttps://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=53&PostID=292448<p>Hi everybody,</p> <p>I got my Beosound 5 system now over one year. Great, no problems but one. When I shut down the system via my remote or at the controller, on both speakers the RED standby light keep burning. It becomes green, once activated again</p> <p>As I am often away for a few days, I find it strange that the system ( as far as I know ) cannot be taken completely from the mains ( except pulling the plug out - but this I do not even do with my computer ! )</p> <p>Am I of something not aware off or is it a fact that the units always remain in standby?</p> <p>Your comments are appreciated</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
