Does your amp perform/function/sound as is should? Do you believe Luxman actually might know how/might possess the competence, to design and manufacture a device, that can protect itself from overheating? Has it EVER exhibited the first signs of malfunction? Why are you entertaining so many alarmists? Oh, wait; THE SKY IS FALLING! THE SKY IS FALLING(just being consistent, with the other contributions)!
Need Help! My Class A Amp Is Running Very Hot
Hi, currently I own a Luxman 590 Class A 30watts Integrated. After the unit running for more than half an hour if I put my hands on the top of the cabinet over or around the vents it is burning hot , I even feel the heat on the sides of the cabinet, other than that the amp sounds good. Can anyone tell me if that’s normal or I should get it check out?
Thank you in advance for your advice.

Read the paragraph under ’PROTECTION CIRCUIT’, on Page 1 of the Luxman AX590 manual: https://onahighernote.com/oahn/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/L590AX.pdf Luxman probably knows, how hot is too hot, for their product and have taken precautions. |
Actual temperature? "Burning hot", is very subjective! No one can(possibly/correctly) answer your question, without that fact/measurement. Not even the manufacturer. btw: your amp has a protection circuit, that will turn it off, if it senses over-current, abnormally high temperature, or DC drift(per the first page of the Owner's Manual). |
