 Amp keeps overheating - bathtub tom
Remembering my old electronics, certain classes of amp would run hotter when on a lighter load (headphones compared to speakers).

Your amp probably depends on covection to cool it.

Might be worth removing the covers and giving it a gentle vacuum. ISTR you've posted pics of computers blocked up with dirt.
