amp dies in middle of playing


I have an old adcom amp that occasionally dies whenever i play bass heavy passages at high volume. This is a new problem as the amp used to drive to far higher levels with no problems. The way it happens is ill be playing a rock song at loud but not rediculous volume, like 11 on my preamp and the music will cut off and then come back on after the amp protection circut turns back off. I think its a power supply problem but any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Viridian makes a good point. I had a problem with one of my M120 monoblocks, where it's sound was very bad on mid-deep bass. Fuses seemed OK, but closer inspection showed 2 were semi-blown. Replacing the 2 fuses solved the problem.
