...If you use Naim amplification (seemingly not in your case).
Naim use the inductance of the speaker cable rather than adding components to the output stage in order to provide stability. Hence if the cable used does not provide the requisite inductance then the amp may become unstable and "blow". This is also a reason why Naim recommend a minimum length of their cable.
The above is particuarly relevant for older Naim amps. I understand that modern ones are less vulnerable.
