sub woofer amp hot on Vandersteen 5a's


My sub woofer amps on my 5A's are getting very hot. So hot that it is uncomfortable for me to keep my hand on the fins of the amps after they have been going for awhile. Is this normal?

if you are playing at loud volumes for a while and then turn the volume to normal listening does the amp remain warm to the touch or does it cool down ?
Since it was both of us discussing this, I sent this member an email ( faster response ) suggesting the same thing that member Danlib 1 did.
