bi-amping with Tube and SS amp


Bi-amping question: 

Is it possible to use a tube amplifier to run my HT speakers without disconnecting HT SS amp? 
In other words, can I connect a tube amp to my L R channel using top binding posts and use the tube amp for music. The HT amp will be off but remain connected via bottom posts.

Please explain why this would not work?  If you keep the jumper and connect both amps the speaker will sense the signal from either top or bottom binding post. If OP turns off his SS amp, his speaker will only get signal from the amp that is active.

I saw a person do this with class D amps. He had the class Ds turned OFF and the the tube gear playing. I heard a high pitched sound and it blew a 20 amp house breaker. The caps in the SS gear charged and BLEW the transformer on the tube gear. Guess whos gear it was?.. MINE...

You have to do what the two gent mentioned above. Dummy loads, I use a 3 position switch. Center is hooked to nothing. I don't trust switches either.. A space between contacts is even better.. 3 position vs 2

Chicken feedin' time
