Heat heat and more heat??

My Jeff Rowland model 8 amp seems to be giving off more heat than I can ever remember. The sound still seems great, but the amp gets hot quicker than I ever remember ( heats up the room quickly!) and it is still warm even after several hours after shut down. Any ideas as to what's going on? Is it time for a trip back to Mr.Jeff?

These amps date back quite a few years. It might be prudent albeit difficult to get them looked at for new capacitors etc.

Have you checked your electrical service? What's the voltage? What's the power factor?

I had Rowlands that got warm but never hot...never the less, if there was anything really wrong with your equipment, there are protection circuits that would shut it down.
