Why would 1 SS monoblock run hotter than other?


amps in question are KRELL KMA-100's '88 vintage.
I've switched amps from side to side but 1 always run significantly hotter( very warm to touch whereas other is cool ).

Need I be worried ? or should I not touch it til it breaks ?

thanks everyone

If these are not class A amps (sorry I'm not familiar with them) then they shouldn't be getting hot, and I would be worried.
If they are class A amps I'd be wondering about the cold one. :-)
The fact that you switched amps side to side means you've isolated the problem to the power amps.
Either way electrical problems can cause fires so I'd get an experienced person to check it out.
