Agree with Rich. Also, the Yamaha might not be up to handling the load presented by your new speakers, depending on what they are. What are the speakers? If they have an impedance of 4 ohms or less, can the Yamaha handle that without breaking down?
Quicken the burn in time for new speakers by using a cheaper SS amp?
I'm in the process of buying a new pair of speakers and I would like to burn them in quickly without using my main tube amp (I'm new to the tube amp scene, but it's my understanding that you should not run a tube amps for very long periods) and by running them for longer periods using a much cheaper SS amp. I'm thinking about using a cheap $125 Integrated Yamaha Amp http://www.amazon.com/Yamaha-R-S201BL-2-Channel-Stereo-Receiver/dp/B00F0H88SY/ref=sr_1_1?s=electroni.... The new speakers are going to run me about $3K. I'm willing to buy the cheaper amp just to burn in the new speakers. Any advice or comments would be appreciated.
