I'm surprised by those figures when I consider how quickly my D200 gets warm and how warm it does get in use.

After many hours of playing at reasonably loud volumes the D200 I used was warm but not hot to the touch, so my power measurements may reflect my loads. I'd be interested if you could measure your D200 power consumption to see if it differs. Kill-A-Watt meters are cheap and useful instruments.

I think that you are right.
Magico S1 speakers are most definitely power hungry.
But either playing DVD's, Blu-Ray discs or watching TV, the D200 must be turned up to a much higher level and it does get significantly hotter when compared to listening to music via Antipodes and USB (Curious Cable).
I have a feeling that my local library loans out devices similar to Kill-A-Watt. I'll investigate after Xmas.
