By your mention of "hooking them up between a SS pre and power amp" I take it you mean a pair of line-level audio interconnect cables. There is no need to use a 8 Ohm resistor as a dummy load across the amp's speaker terminals, since you can turn off the power amp while the preamp is sending signal to the power amp's line-level inputs (be sure to turn up the preamp's volume control to enable a high-level output signal). You can also choose to connect the line-level audio interconnect cables between a CD player (which typically has a high-output signal) or a tuner and a preamp's inputs which can also be powered-off during the burn-in process (make sure the preamp's input selector is set to the inputs used for the connections, though).
