kyocera Receiver R 861


I just bought this amp and it sound very good on my B&W  Nautilus 803 speakers. My question: 

I have read that this reiver runs  very hot with their mosfets transistors .

However, this particular receiver, is running cool.!! 

i discovered that my unit is the later edition with the red logo.

any thoughts

thanks

Bias could be off.  Check to see if the amp is biased correctly per the service manual or have someone check it.

i use the 861 in a basement system and never noticed it running hot. it's a quality piece--enjoy it.
