I think there can be a difference here.

Was looking recently at the power requirements of an amp + subwoofer + 5 5.1 JBL surround speakers.

The setup was done decade ago, and the power needed for it was nuts. Something like 500W for a Denon amp and 250W for a JBL subwoofer?

For reference something like a OG HomePod consumes what 45W? The Sony srs xg500 boombox can last 30hours and is a giant room shaking boombox.

The difference in power efficiency between these old and new setups are nuts. Nevermind compatibility with AirPlay, streaming etc…
