   We have a set of Bose speakers here at work (on a IIcx), I'm convinced
that they turn themselves OFF when there is no input from the audio jack.

   I have a set of tiny Sony speakers that do the same (they run on batteries)).

   I suspect that this is the case since the speakers have a built-in amp and
no ON/OFF switch.

   Try hooking your IIx onto a GOOD set of headphones WITHOUT any amp, you
should see a definite improvement in sound quality.
