Bass leaves after amp warms up?


I don't understand-after my Musical Fidelity M6i amp warms up for about an hour I notice the deep bass & kick drum aren't the same.
They sound less musical with loss of weight/depth.The notes are there but the moving of air have left.Sound is has much less impact and boreing.
I had the same problem with Bryston amp so there is no defect with amps nor with the rest of my equipment/
PSB Synchrony one speakers,AQ cables,Bryston CD Player.
My question has anyone heard similar & is there a plausable reason?

Quiescent current is higher when the amp is cold and decreases as it heats up whether the outputs are mosfets or bi-polar. But more so with mosfets than with bi-polar outputs.

Not so with the two powerhouse ME850's I have here, both are at 20mv accross the emiter resistors 12 per channel when cold and by 20mins they have climbed and stablized to 50mV. My bass is ultra tight but 2 dimential when cold then it looses precieved tightness for a more 3 dimentail bass when warm. I believe this is what's happening to the poster. Or his supply is sagging as the bias climbs if it goes up like mine as it's warming up.

Fishing716: I just looked at the internals of your M6i amps on Google images and I must say for a 200wrms per channel amp the power supply does look a bit on the thin side to what I would like to see, esspecially the amount of storage caps. And a single dual winding transformer for such a high power rated amp should really two tranise of the same size. Suggest you try another amp to see if fixes your problem.

Fishing716. What I believe is happening is that when the amp is cold the bias is naturaly low, this does not tax the power supply as much as when the amp has warmed up, and the bias is at it's max adjusted setting.
However if the power supply is not up to the task it will sag on bass transients more when the amp is warmed up than when it's cold. As the bias is asking for more current when it's warm than when it's cold.
