As long as there's no input, having no output won't make a difference. There are a very few exceptions to this. 
Assymetric speaker cable lengths?
The tube load theory doesn't hold water @ your lengths. Low impedence spkrs. w/ a bumpy impedence curve (>90% of the spkrs. on the mkt have less than ideal impedence curves) can be overcome by going w/ a heavier Ga. spkr. cable. 
Assymetric speaker cable lengths?
The audio signal travels @ slightly less than the speed of light (186,000 mi./sec). You'd need a difference of several 100 miles to hear any difference. As long as you're using 14 Ga. wire or better, you're fine. Also @ your lengths, resistance, c... 
Please help Two amps to one pair of speaker?
Not until the day both accidently get switched on together & you've destroyed one amp for sure, & have an excellent probability of damaging the other amp along w/ the spkrs. You either need a switch box or a pre amp/processor w/ a pass thru. 
'best' surge protection?
I'll 2nd Tripplite Isobars. Great proucts @ reasonable prices. I'm not affilliated w/ them but use their products. 
Tube Amp. Power ratings
Why deal w/ real issues? Enjoy your OTLs, SETs & have a nice holiday. 
Tube Amp. Power ratings
How many OTL amps are there which will easily handle 4 ohm loads that are inefficient w/ a wicked phase angle? I'd be willing to bet these amps are stratospherically priced, & one can count these amps on one hand & not use all 5 digits. 
Tube Amp. Power ratings
Whether tube amps reveal more detail is highly debatable. Most white papers need to be carefully analyzed as the mfg. isn't always objective. 
Tube Amp. Power ratings
OTLs are an exception to the rule being designed for 8 ohms or greater. These amps are virtually useless w/ most 4 ohm spkrs of which there are many more on the mkt than 14/16 ohm spkrs. 
Tube Amp. Power ratings
The pwr. of tube amps decreases rapidly once the spkr. impedence deviates from the output tap being used. Beaware of the heat in summer unless you live in the polar regions. Bear in mind that matched prs. of output tubes can be pricey w/ some amps...

Multiple grounds can be dangerous & are against the electrical codes in most areas. If you have homeowner's insurance, you give the insur. co. a good reason to void any fire or damage claims. You also leave yourself open for liability in case ... 
Can speaker cables be too thick?
http://www.roger-russell.com/wire/wire.htmThis should answe3r your thickness issue w/ regard to overkill. He takes a common sense approach, missing in much of what passes for cable "wisdom" today. 
Different lengths of interconnects ??????
Inductance, capacitance, & phase should be non issues in any properly designed IC found in typical system lengths. As far as "what most people believe", this is how the myths & urban legends begin that leave the unknowing needlessly chasin...
