I use an older version of the Lepy amp for my deck speakers, it's not a bad little amp for ~$30.00.

I wouldn't worry about turning off an amp like that. Unlike receivers or old equipment, Class D amps like the Lepy usually use almost no electricity at idle. It's the same thing with Sonos. They're always on, but because they use low power Class D amps the electricity usage is negligible.
