Leaving your amps on,


Lately I have noticed that I have a slight "white" noise coming from my speakers when not in use, I do leave my amp's "ON" all the time. Will that slight noise affect the speakers in any way

Please discribe what you hear in more detail. How loud. How big and what brand are your amps and speakers. if the source is changed, does the sound change. Please be as specific as possible.

Very efficient speakers and even good amps can have this occur. I had a pair of Klipsch La Scalas (104dB). Pretty much always had a some white noise. I was using a 40 watt class A/B amplifier of good, but not great quality. Will it damage the speakers over time? Very hard to say, and probably very equipment dependent as Richard already pointed out.
