Think of it in simple terms.
The power switch is the front door. You turn it off and it's locked.
What you are doing is going to the back door where there is no switch to shut things off and sending the second amplifier signal into the speaker leads of the first amp in the wrong direction.

This is how I thought about it. While the signal from the second amp would go to the speakers, it would also go from the speakers binding posts to the other turned off amp. I thought that might be bad for the turned off amp.Think of it in simple terms.

If the off amplifier switches the speakers via relay, there would be no interference. Make sure the amplifier is off when you turn on the other amplifier.
Be careful because there are amplifiers that do not have a final relay to switch their speakers. Example one I had Rotel RA970BX.
In any case, it doesn't cost anything to disconnect the amplifier and connect the other one.

I am reading screw head terminals, no cable connectors or easy off binding posts, therefore a hassle to undo and put back on.Nobody thinks that "bare wire" is a bad idea?
The smart guys here might be able to describe the actual repercussions.
Boom!
Will fill the room! 😁Bing, bong, bada, boom?
