Hi All, Hope you are having a great day.

What is the worst thing which would happen if an AMP were to fail/break.

I have a 30-35 year old AMP and at the moment it works completely fine. However what is the worse thing which would happen if it failed.

Would it blow my speakers, my ear drums in turn?

I have no idea why, but im scared of it deafening / damaging my ears if it were to fail.

AMP: TEAC A-H300

This is the only amp I have ever used and it’s really good, it was passed down to me.

    Tube amps can have some pretty spectacular failures, but weren’t the Futterman OTL transistor amps basically ticking time bombs for crowbar’ing an ridiculous voltage to the speakers?
