Argent,
I'm not familiar with the speakers that you have, but, if they aren't very sensitive or dip into the low ohm range (1-3 ohm) they can make your amp run pretty hot. Especially if you like to listen to your music quite loud. I used to have a pair of Infinity Kappa 8's and they would dip into the 1 ohm range (with sensitivity at about 84-86db)and would make my amp run VERY hot, could even cause the amp to activate it's protection circuitry if we really cranked it up. And this amp had plenty of arse. I now have a pair of Legacy Focus that are sensitive speakers (95-96db and operate @ 4 OHM) and don't have this problem. My amp rarley even gets warm. That Bryston has tons of arse, so either your speakers are the cause, as mine were, or the problem is elsewhere. Maybe someone else has another suggestion. Don't know if this helps. Good luck.
