Tube newcomer questions: warm-up, etc.

204.155.226.8

All:

I have been reading about the requirements for tube warm-up, burn-in, etc. What warm-up would you customarily give before running tube power-amps? Also, what sort of fire hazard is involved in leaving tubes on for an extended period? (I sometimes leave the solid state stuff on when not home, can I do this with tubes?)

If my spouse were to flip on the tube amps and immediately start blasting HT or stereo music, could she destroy my speakers?

I am eagerly expecting a pair of Wave 8's, which represent my first foray into the tube world. Any wisdom is appreciated.
