I agree completely and for a small investment now you can save a lot of grief later. And they probably aren't going to live too long, but who really knows... When they do fail they may take out the rectifiers, the power amplifiers themselves or your speakers. Suitable replacements can be found on eBay for short money not to mention at Digi-Key and Mouser.
