"But meh audiophile quality!!!!11"
A class D amp is basically like a modern switching power supply, highly efficient and only delivering power when something is happening. Class A/B uses the most power when silent, due to the push-pull stage.
I have some desk monitor speakers with a medium-sized heatsink and have them on when the PC is on. Put it all on a power strip (monitor, speakers, USB hub) and turn it off when you're done.
