amp clipping earlier than usual?


I have a pair of mono amps with clipping indicator LEDs. One of the amps' indicators is lighting up for the first time. I've never been able to make them light up before. But it only happens on one of them. It lights up way sooner than as loud as I typically max them. I don't hear any distortion. So I'm thinking it's not an output transistor. These are LSR&D Superamp monos, 300wpch. Anyone? TIA

Unless they were rebuilt, these amps are close to 40 years old, so I totally agree with Ralph, although, " worn out " might be a better description ( such as capacitors ). Enjoy ! MrD.
So the amp was " not " completely rebuilt " ? I would replace those caps for sure, as it cannot hurt.
