However, there were a number of speaker models from various manufacturers, back in the day, which had circuitry to turn the amplifiers off and save power if there was no signal coming from the source. Some of these speakers had trouble with low volume passages, and would go to sleep during those passages, thus ruining the enjoyment of such pieces. You might try playing the same musical piece with the volume of your Macintosh set to the highest level (in the Sound Control Panel) and see if it still happens, if you aren't already operating that way.
