Why is my conrad johnson mf 2500 overheating?


I need some help! My cj mf2500 which is 240 watts @ 8 ohms is overheating. It overheats when you run it over 1/3 volume for an extended period of time. It is running magnepan 3.5r speakers thru stealth speaker cables. My cj gets so hot the thermal protection circuit shuts it down. Also I blow more then my fair share of speaker fuses. Any help sure would be appreciated.( I had no problem with amp until I bought these speakers. Do I need a bigger amp?) Thanks Kyle

Something is shorted somewhere. Check all connections and get a meter to check impedence starting at the speaker cables at the amp end.
