You really need something that changes the volume while showing the amp a constant load - like the in-wall volume controls for whole-house audio systems. Little big for a T4R if you want to be able to access it, though.

Thanks. That is one reason I want a switch that doesn't go as high. If I can't find one, I would set it only at the minimal range - say 2-3 ohms. This reduces the volume pretty well. I'm told these speakers are 2 ohm, so the most the amp would see is around 5.
Does that sound OK? What about just leaving the speaker disconnected (which would be the 2nd best option)?
