Some amplifiers do have stability issues without a load, so it is a good idea to check with the manufacturer. Otherwise, as a general rule of thumb, if the amplifier has no output load, do not put a signal into it.
OK to have power amps powered w/o spkrs.?
Hi quick question. I just bought a stereo amp, and have a pair of mono-blocks as well. I would like to have them powered and warmed up before I do a comparison (a day or so).
Is it safe to have the power amps plugged in without being connected to speakers? Amps are solid state.
I plan to leave them plugged in 24/7 thereafter.
Maybe I'm being overly paranoid, but I recall reading something about amps and not using them without being connected to speakers....
Much appreciated. Thanks.
