Thanks
53C (127F) on the heatsinks of an E-600 Class A amp is hot, but not unreasonable. However, The same temp on an E-303 Class AB amp is quite hot and would check the offset & bias on the output stages if were mine. While the E-270 is a considerably different/newer piece, mine runs quite cool and is barely warm to the touch at normal listening levels.
