MA Power Management

Looking through the documentation for the Matrix Audio line I can't help to notice that there appears to be no means for the these systems to manage power. Mainly for source components w/o discrete power functions the abitlity to ensure equipment is on via current or video sensors is what seperates ok deisgned systems from great designed systems. This of course is for a stand alone system with out AMX running the logic.

The lack of these features makes some great audio controllers / amplifiers mediocre. B & K CT series come to mind.

I'd also like to know what kind of logic is going on in the MA controllers. If a zone has the CD player selected and thats the only zone sourcing the CD is it smart enough to send a stop command after X amount of time passes when that zone is turned off or switches to a different source?

Now that AMX owns this product line one would think (given time) that these deivces would be made with superior logic and power management abiltiies as a stand alone piece of equipment. Obviously I would prefer an AMX processor on every job as I'm sure would AMX but as a stand alone system it has to be able to out perform its less expensive competition Niles, Russound, Xantech, etc. which have some of these features.

Most customers can't tell the difference in sound quality from one system to another, all they want is something to work when they push a button.
