Allow me to stand forth and be counted. One week when my Paramours were offline for an upgrade, I put a 150-watt SS amp into the system with a Foreplay (1) and a pair of single-driver speakers (Buschhorns with Radio Shack 4" drivers). For whatever reason, one day, I flipped on the power switch for the amp and the pre-amp at the same time. With the Paramours, that indiscretion would have led to a mild thump as described. With the SS amp, it made no noise at all. But it "let the magic smoke out" of the drivers, fusing the voice coils.

Tell you what, I haven't made that mistake since.
