What am I missing here? 300watt amps to drive 100db efficient speakers. If you listen at levels requiring that kind of power, your hearing is in trouble.

Mechanical Hum from Class A Amplifier Clayton
Hi All,
Need some advise,
I have a paid of Clayton M300 Monos,
Speakers Tested on were Danley SH50 Horn 100db and Legacy Audio Whisper XD 94db
I noticed one of the mono block has a louder Mechanical Hum and tends to get hotter. The amps are giving off a Hiss sound with some mechanical buzz noise in the midrange drivers.
The other mono block has hiss and slight hum with a much lower Mechnical buzz from the amplifier. What concerns me is the Hiss noise. Its not only a hiss but some buzz mixed into it.
I tried connecting the amps directly to the wall socket and to a AC Regenerator and nothing seems to sort the issue out. Is this normal noise for a Class A amplifier to make a loud hissing noise? My Tube amps have a lower noise floor specially the Bob Carver which are dead silent, The ATI amplifier is Also Dead Silent.
