Can I unplug one speaker or remove two tubes to run my amplifier at half power?

December 26, 2025

No, the output of each power amplifier must have a speaker load. Removing the two power tubes from one side of the amplifier will alter the bias of the remaining two power tubes and potentially cause a failure. Any of these two actions would void the warranty.
