Hi All

I replaced the 4 caps in my amp, and found that one of the bleeders was bad. Replaced it this morning.

After letting it run a while, I touched the 4 resistors and they seem to be pretty hot. Is that normal with this amp? I know that bleeders can get hot, but I'm more used to 1 big bleeder of 50 watts or so, not 4 at 7 watts.

Would it be better to replace the 4 bleeders with larger wattage resistors? Thanks and 73
