If it is awkward to get to the rear of the amp then get a power strip with an on and off switch . Plug the amp into that and turn it on and off from the power strip. I would not leave an amp on all the time.
Thanks, guys. I am wondering if McIntosh designed it to always stay on. Otherwise, why put the power switch on the back? I too don't like to just leave things on eternally, I guess I do lean towards turning it off.
Other than the lights going dim sooner, there is no problem with leaving the 7100 on all the time. In fact its better for it. I leave my SS Mac amp on for days at a time, if I know I will be listening.
