Need Help! My Class A Amp Is Running Very Hot
If OP's (khmyjy) amp is L-590AX and not the AXII, there's a possibility his amp is a 100v japan model. The L-590AX is spec’d as consuming 220 watts at idle (310 watts max). The L-590AXII is spec’d as consuming 260 watts at idle (330 watts max).

@sanpsc +1 Cost effective suggestion, a white one will save you a few pennies :) https://www.amazon.com/TRC-14650006-6-Shockshield-Protection-Unmonitored/dp/B000XVG72G 
Classe CA-2100 - LED turn red, Amp shuts down, LEFT side of the Amp is extremely hot!
Yes, speaker + terminal works: https://elektrotanya.com/PREVIEWS/63463243/service-tips-info/egyeb/classe-audio_ca-2100_2200_3200_51... And the picture on each channel you can see the protection pcb on standoffs: https://elektrotanya.com/PREVIEWS/6...

George, If you look closely you can see the trim pot on the edge of each side of the main board close to the back panel. Those blue trim pots close to each other on a daughter board are protection circuits.

Please answer for dummies: Any way to increase power from a Chinese tube amp?
what downside may come from having both volumes near max. Don't worry about it, turn the volume knob near max. actually give you better sound quality, just remember to turn the volume down before you change sources.

Tony, have you try those 1/2C rechargeable NiCad battery?

If your Panasonic Plasma TV or cable server box has digital audio output (coaxial or optical), you can connect it to the Oppo-BDP-105D digital audio input.

I think the input impedance of your amp is the resistance value of the volume pot (Based on the link provide by zkidd). https://6moons.com/audioreviews/almarro4/schematics.gif

What resistance of the volume pot, 250kohm?

IF it is an used unit, make sure it is a 115v model ( not a 100v Japan model ) if you are in US otherwise a transformer is needed!
