 Amp keeps overheating - RattleandSmoke
Its not a class A as far as I know. It is 70w per channel into an 8ohm load though.

There is about 3inches of clearence from the top of the amp to the top of the shelve so that may be the problem. I have solved the problem for now by using the output on my Rotel BX870 pre amp.

The full specs are here

Edit it seems is a class A I never even realised :( Poor ventalation is the problem then!

PS Sajid welcome to the other side :).
