Kill-a-Watt measurements of Denon AVR-X2000 A/V receiver

I was curious to see the energy draw from my Denon receiver.  I have a Kill-a-Watt unit and am always interested in real world measurements.  I was surprised at the idle powered-on usage, so I decided to post them up here in case anyone else is interested.  This is on standard U.S. 110v/120v power (measures 122v at the wall). Unit is off, but plugged in (red power light):  2 W Unit is powered on (green power light), no activity or signal:  53 W Playing a rock MP3 over Airplay - stereo - into two Energy RC-10 bookshelf speakers (88-91 dB, 8 ohms) @ m. vol 56.0 = 58-59 W @ m. vol 63.0 = 65-68 W @ m. vol 70.0 = 72-80 W I don't have my 5.1 setup yet but will take more measurements when I can.
