My other guess is that if you keep operating the amp like this
for long, it will have a catastrophic failure and take out the rest
of the output stage.

Since you really need to go in and replace all the output transistors
if one is bad anyway, this is not as bad as it might sound.

Yeah, but since it might take out other parts as it went, including
speakers, it could get pretty expensive. Go get the amp fixed.

Peace,
Paul



Fortunately most current designs have some sort of protection circuitry and
it's relatively rare that a blown amp takes out a speaker. Unlike the good
ol' days ......
