Classe CA 100 running hot

I hooked up new Goertz MI 2 bi wire and amp is cooking, not in a good way. Any Classe people with these cables? My speakers are B&W 805ns and low volume but amp running hot.

I've heard that this combination of amp/wire is unstable. See:

The follow-up post suggests adding a resistor in series with the cable. For details:

BTW, I've had good luck with Kimber 8TC split for biwire on my Classe CA-100.
