Thanks for the helpful comments below - another question I have is if I
would leave a valve amp on all the time or switch it off and have to wait
for it to warm up every time I need it?

**ALL power amps should be switched off, until they are required for use.
There are several reasons for this:
* Leaving an amp switched on, accelerates wear and tear on several parts. In
SS amps, this means electrolytic caps. In valve amps, this means valves and
electrolytic caps.
* Leaving the amp switched on, leaves the amp open to line surges and
spikes, which may damage equipment.
* Leaving the amp switched on is not environmentally sensitive.

Tell me again why you would buy an amp, without first listening to it?
Tell my why you think this is a good idea?
