I'm suggesting you parallel a 25-50 ohm resistor across the output of each of your amps. When the speaker is connected to the amp it sees ~ 6-7 ohms assuming 8 ohm speakers. When you disconnect the speaker the amp will see 25-50 ohms depending on the resistor value you choose to use. Most amps should tolerate both 6-7 ohms and 25-50 ohms across 8 ohm taps with signal applied w/o issue.
Follow Ups:
I was using an 8 ohm resistor in parallel, but a quick on a calculator program shows that 25 ohms would give a more even effective resistance when the amp is in use. I had meant to do this earlier as another poster had mentioned this as well, but I forgot to do it. Thanks for the reminder, I will give it a try.
