Marantz PM 7000 keeps cutting out


hello all,
need a little advice here. I have Marantz PM 7000 bi-wired to a pair of Linn Katans. I have a cd player and tuner. This set up has been working fine for 1yr until recently. Everything works fine until I turn the Marantz up above 3 on the volume control at which point the Amp clicks, all power continues, however no sound for 5-10 secs. then clicks back on again. It continues to do this frequently. If i hook up headphones, it works fine at any volume level. Any thoughts would be great.

thanks in advance,
gillach

ok, figured it out, thanks to you guys, indeed it was an issue w/the speaker wires. They were not touching in the back of the amp, however, i did use staples-probably not a good idea- to attach the speaker wires to the baseboard. I found 2 staples that had pierced the insulation. Must have been grounding the wires out. Anyway back to normal now...thanks again.
