A long time ago all amps liked to see a load connected. Maybe more true with tube amps than SS. Today seems to be a different story. I sometimes use a HT receiver with an external amp so that none of the receiver's amp channels are in use. Some think it sounds best when the power supply isn't taxed so heavily. Makes sense to me. And it neither urban nor legend.
Unused channels on a multi channel amp
Is it possible to run a multi channel amp without using all the channels without causing damage? For example, can a five channel amp be used to biamp a pair of stereo speakers and not use the fifth channel? Would you have to connect a speaker to the unused channel to present it with a load? Would you have to cap off the inputs in some way? Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
David
