Dynaudio bm6a, turning on/off.

Hi!
I've had the bm6a for about a year now and I love them.
Now the "problem" is that I built a pair of stands for them so now it's pretty hard to turn them on/off without being an acrobat. =)

Would it hurt the speakers to always have the switch on the back turned on and use another swith to turn the power on/off for both speakers?

I hope you understand my question..
thanks in advance!

I have one switch for all my studio appliances.
I don't think it hurts the monitors - have been like that for the last 5 years.

Make sure the monitor volume on the mixer is at minimum.

Ok! Thanks Trip!
Tried that now and it works fine.

Another thing I noticed about the montiors. If I turn them off and then turn them on again in like 10-20 sec the woofer "jumps"(Don't really know how to explain it, it goes out and in and makes a "poof" sound)
Anyone know why it does that?

try to have ur monitors alone in they own power socket! and use a master switch if this is not easy to do try at least not have them in the same power socket with ur computer!

Strange i have the same monitors but they don't do this..Only when i turn them on the light stays red for a couple of secs and then there's a click when the amp kicks in & it turns green..

Yeah that's what they usually do.
Try to switch the monitor off and then on directly, that's when it happends for me.

Ahhh right, will give it a shot but i guess that's normal because the amp receives power too quickly..I think its probably a built-in safety mechanism that makes the amp wait a few secs before switching on when you power up the monitor..

I got this answer from dynaudio:

"Answer from our service techs :
It is normal, because some capacitors are still loaded and if you power on quickly, they will send that power away.
So yes wait a few seconds before powering on again."

Then I asked if it could hurt the montiors and got this answer :

"I don\t think the drivers risk anything."

hehe, pretty funny that they write "think". Anyways, doesn't seem to hurt the monitors.
Thanks all for the help!
