>>I don't know if the load is affected by whether or not a speaker is connected.
No it won't. The speaker is connected to GND on the other end. So, if there is a cap, obviously no cuyrrebt flows.
And if it is the DC amp, with bi-polar supply, the output will be at 0V with no signal, and 0V to 0V makes no current.
So the only current to speak about will be the bias (quiescent) through current which, again, in my experience will be on the order of 200-300mA for 50W output with +/-35V and up power supplies.

People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
