A small annoyance while biamping
I'd say pre-amp is outputting a bit of signal with volume down.Speakers can only play when sent voltage.

I can not count the times I've gone in the listening room fired up the rig for pre-heating(heats the room as well)Go in after 10pm news,and get about 2-3 tunes into an albumand fall asleep.I'm to young to be so old :(
