Help rotel pops when turning on and off

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.

Well i noticed it on a pair of energy towers with 91 db sensitivity. here another thought, its a low power amp, thinking about 30watts a channel , I had to turn it up well above halfway to get to a listening level im used to, is this bad for the amp to do this a lot?

why never turn off your amps?

No its not bad to turn up an amp, and leave it on all the time because you can............it wont hurt anything, it will sound its best when warm and ready and uses very little power when idle. Many leave Solid State amps and gear on at all times, tubes are different because they will die faster when always left on but I even leave my tube pre amp on at all times, I just replace when needed as my tubes are too expensive.
