12v trigger or other option

[mike c]

after all that's been said and done about the a500 amp (or other similar cheap but good amps)

assuming we get 3 amps for the LCR (and the manual says we should turn the amps on LAST and off FIRST)

so, aside from the TV, the player, the receiver, I still push three power on buttons of these amps (and again when turning off)?

are there other options for lazy (but cheap) people like me?

Well, at work we use Furman Sequencers. They turn their power outlets on in stages. The PS-8R is a common one. This specific model cost under $200. It's a power conditioner as well, so you'd get cleaner power.
