Smoke on my power amp


I was listening the music with the right speaker wire detached to listen to the left speaker alone. The speaker wire was still attached at the amp side. My preamp does not have the balance knob.
After 20 secs or so, there was a smoke on my power amp.
I quickly turn off the amp.
Once smoke comes, would it be safe to turn it on again? I wonder whether it is permanently damaged.
Is it not safe to listen to the music with the speaker wire detached from one speaker but still attached on the amp side?
My amp is Plinius SA 102.
Any comment?
thx

Smoke, don’t power up again.smoke, do not power up, unplug and  can McGrath’s for a check up.

.had a Rotel Rb- 1090 stereo amp, a beast w power and headroom., she made my old vega d9’s Sing like no other!

one afternoon I hit the power button, and I noticed a white flash, and a small puff of white smoke.
immediately unplug, the inrush current limiter had taken a dump.
   Less than a year after a 2K$ purchase. Just my luck, the map was amazing.

i moved on.

   Unplug, have the amp looked at, where’s there’s smoke, so,ething is not right.
have a tech check it out. Or send to manufacturer to fix.

smoke=bad
