Help me Please???


I have just purchase a Classe CAV-150 6ch amp, and after watching a Movie this amp is very very hot. It might burn the skin if you touch it for too long. Is this normal from highend amplifiers? This is my first really highend amp and I just want to make sure there isn't something wrong with it. Any input would be grateful.

Hi Aaron, my classe amp gets hot also, the heat sinks get really hot, I'm driving Thiels which are a tough load. Your amp will get hot to the touch and your heat sinks should be as hot as you describe. However, your amp should only be warm when in standby mode but after a 2 hr movie with lots of dynamics it should be hot. Make sure the amp has plenty of room to breath - do contact Classe they are quick to answer any questions.
