Unloaded amp channel

Amp/Preamp Asylum

Looking for a new Amp or Preamp? If you're after tubes, post over here.

I used a Proceed HPA-3 driving a pair of KEF Reference 107/2s and a 102 for LCR, but the 107/2s image so well I removed the 102. Years ago, Madrigal told me Proceed amps are stable even without loads, still I wonder if I should add a 4Ω resister across the center output or reinstall the 102 -- the center is set to off in Oppo 105 menu for surround and the Parasound JC-2 is stereo only. Analog stereo from a JC-3 phono stage, the Oppo 105, and a Sony XA5400ES go through the JC-2.

So the question is: Should I (1) reinstall the inactive 102 center speaker, (2) install a 4Ω resister across the output, or (3) not bother?
