This way, if the amp is off, I can hear what Alexa is saying with no problems (like checking the weather or traffic) - but when I want to listen to music, I turn on the amp, the bluetooth automatically pairs within a few seconds and then ask Alexa to play music.

Good point... I missed that issue completely Will get a BT receiver before my Dot arrives then since I don't intend to leave the amp permanently on.

Edit: or option B: just disconnect the audio cable between the Dot and the amp when I'm done with music...
