    Same for both channels?

      Yep...both channels...im using an infrared thermometer gun....so there is something giving that reading on both channels. Although im not too alarmed by that number. I can turn the amp off and feel around bare-handed and cannot feel anything hot. I have to wait about 10 seconds, and then the caps drain down to a safe voltage.

      Idk guys. I bet if i put a 4 ohm load on the bad channel it would short the collector-emitter junction again. I didnt find anything....sorry

        I don't think that high transistor temperature is normal at low output.
        Are the transistors well mounted to their heatsinks?

          ...... and, did you get the replacement transistors from a reliable source? There are lots of fakes out there.
