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
