Biggest drawback of turning on/off in the "wrong" order is the pops one may hear in the speakers. I imagine this does cause damage, and over time will cause the speaker to die before its time. This scares me since I just sold my Monster 5000 which had proper power up/down sequence in favor of a CinePro PowerPro20 with no switched outlets. Guess I have to get off my lazy butt now:/ What I'll go thru for good sound.
