What's practical real world experience? Yours? I've got a pair of monos that take literally 3 hours to warm up. I leave them on not because I don't care but because I do. For that matter, up here in the Great White North, we pay you guys to take our electricity from the Bruce Nuclear Facility because it costs too much to power down and then up again. All you have to do is find a way to tap into the main line and you'll be wringing your hands:)
