Why is my Rotel RA 1062 amp running hot?


My system is simple - Rotel RA-1062 integrated amp,a single pair of Klipsch CF-2's, Rotel RCD-1072 CD player, Panasonic Blu-Ray, Technics turntable, and cable box. The amp is on an open shelf with no air constrictions and it will still run hot and shut down if pushed too hard. I've changed speaker cables twice and it didn't help. Any suggestions?

I have owned a couple of Rotel amps and they have NEVER run hot or shut down. Your speakers are easy to drive, this is not normal. I agree with trying a different outlet or cables but if it doesn't help I would definatley have it serviced!
