When powering up a sound system, the power amps always get turned on last so that clicks and pops from upstream devices don’t get to your speakers!

Yep, seconded. Those older mixers all do that. Power on your amps after powering on your mixer.

-i live in the country, power outages happen, I cannot reliably prevent things from turning on all at once.
-my other mixers make noise when turned on, but they are not loud enough to kill speakers; even so I do try to turn things on in the proper order. This one is dangerously exceptional and won’t be used if this can’t be fixed.

Why not just put a UPS on the system and not have to worry about power outages causing the power to cycle on and off.

There are timing relays for under $50 that can delay the power to the amps for a few seconds. You just need to buy a 230V model (for input and switch) that has the current capacity for your sound system.
