By the way if you don't trust an amp or don't need to hear it for a test keep an eye out for 4-8ohm power resistors rated around 10-50W.... speakers are usually assumed to be a resistive load in design practice, and all amps should be happy to drive a resistor of the same rating as a speaker.
I've seen and read about dummy load resistors being used when servicing stereo equipment, specifically if rebiasing an amplifier in a power amp or a stereo receiver, and parts express has some dummy load resistors rated at 8 ohms 50 watts for sale on their website but they're $30 a pop.
