Is there any danger in leaving a class D amp on unattended for ten days?

I recently obtained class D (Red Dragon monoblocks) amps.
I have left them on continuously for about a week, and they seem to be improving sonically with every day.  I am planning to be away for ten days starting next week. Is it unwise to leave them on unattended for this period?

I have all my gear on UPS protected circuits and running / air conditioned in a rack 24/7. Heat is the enemy. I had a shunt trip breaker installed and if there’s smoke or if the AC fails it cuts power.

The only time mine are off is during a power outage.

I unplug my system when leaving for weeks...and I do believe it sounds better when left on...

My system is on all the time. Like markalarsen, the only time the system is off is if the power goes out.

I don't know about others out there in Audioland but when the power unexpectedly shuts down and then starts up (could be a second or could be much longer) it effects my tube gear and turns them on. I don't want my tube gear on when I'm not listening or at home.
