Need Help! My Class A Amp Is Running Very Hot
@khmyjy, Is the 332 to 340 watts with the amp idle, not playing any music but powered on? That’s how I’d recommend you test it, because the power draw should be “only” 260W in that case. If 332-340 is at idle, then It seems prudent to question the heat output. Do you have a local shop you trust to look at it? |
http://www.luxman.com/ I don't know why peeps don't rely on manufacturer's websites. :) Per this, it should be ~ 260 at idle, and ~ 330 at full power. Disconnect all inputs, and outputs. You may have some ultrasonic oscillations going on. If that does not drop the power, contact the manufacturer. Best, Erik |
