Crazy, I'm going through the same exact thing right now (but in the L channel).
After about 5-10 minutes the left channel cuts out and begins to vary in volume. This is sometimes accompanied by static coming from the speaker.
Stehno's method is almost exactly what I did which helped me determine that my amp was faulty. When I switched the ICs on the amp end only, the problem remained in the left channel. When I switched the speaker cables on the amp end only, the problem switched to the other speaker. This told me that the speakers were ok, the source componentes were ok, and the amp wasn't. At any rate, the amp is now on its way back to the manufacturer.
BTW, what amp are you using?
