Amp burn-in..Best technique


I will soon be getting my new Mcintosh MC591's. I am curious,......does it matter how loud you play? If I run a CD on continuous repeat,...does it matter if I turn it way down? Or does that not offer enough resistance/load to drive to have a "break-in" effect. My wife would not be happy if I had my system playing at high levels all day.

Thanks guys, correction....Mcintosh MC501, not 591. Not that it matters.

So how often am I supposed to turn the amp on and off? And this may be a dumb question, but I would think that the speakers offer impedence which forces the amp to work harder and break in. If that is true, would you not need a reasonable volume level to offer a certain amount of impedence?

If you just need signal coming from the amps, do they even need to be connected to the speakers?

Just a little confused!
