It's not like they are going to burst open, is it??

Also does quick 'hot-swapping' speakers while an amp's hurt it any? (Oi
dun a lot o' thaat in tha parrst.... ;-)



Well it starts with load lines and reflected loads and goes on from there.
how far back do you want to go ?


Wot ho Nick, that wuz quick!!

OK, not too *deep* but more along the lines will it damage the amp if a
speaker swap is quite quick (while it's *on* - omitted that in the original
post)...???

Perhaps I should say will it damage the transformer?
