OTL and speaker switching

I'm putting together a switching system to share my one set of speakers between a Joule Electra VZN-80 OTL and an Exposure 3010 solid state amp.

I plan on using a Niles SAS1 switch.

However, I have a basic question about OTL safety. It is frequently stated that a tube amp should never be powered on without speakers connected, for fear of damaging the output transformer. Is there a similar danger to OTL amps?
