Help rotel pops when turning on and off

ok so I have done some more reading and I think I can aviod the pop by engaging the remote speakers, but I know there is a problem under the hood. Any ideas?

Not sure how loud the pops you are hearing are but I have owned several amps that made loud thumps when turned on/off. Rotel RB-981, Adcom (three different models) and a Portal Panache all made annoying thumps. The Rotel also hummed through the speakers. I owned two of the Rotels and they were identical so I figure it was their nature. Basically the issue is that these models don't have a circuit which mutes the the output until the power supply has settled.
It shouldn't harm anything but it is annoying. Unfortunately the only solution is a different amp. Ask the seller questions concerning operation before buying.

well thank god theres no humming!!!! Thats crazy though! I have a cheap 40watt sony reciever from 1994 that doesnt do that!! What the heck!As expensive as this stuff is in comparison to what is availible at big box stores you expect superior design and sound!!!

Don't turn it off.

Yes, I'm a problem solver. That's just what I do.

How efficient are your speakers? Rotel gear will do that pop and its normal because of how the design it to sound good. If you think that pop makes your reciever better you are sadly mistaken........BTW I never turn off my amps so leaving them on is another good idea.
