Hi All, Hope you are having a great day.
What is the worst thing which would happen if an AMP were to fail/break.
I have a 30-35 year old AMP and at the moment it works completely fine. However what is the worse thing which would happen if it failed.
Would it blow my speakers, my ear drums in turn?
I have no idea why, but im scared of it deafening / damaging my ears if it were to fail.
AMP: TEAC A-H300
This is the only amp I have ever used and it’s really good, it was passed down to me.
I personally have not seen this occurrence in 45 years.
Your ears will be fine.
Some (rare) catastrophic fail might occur which will destroy all/part of the output transistors and blow both tweeters and if awesome enough fry the mids…the woofs should be ok… maybe.
A long running joke is…the tweeters gave their life so the protection circuit/relay could live. 😬
