conrad johnson mf-2300a heat

can anyone offer at what temp this amp should be running
? on the heatsinks at 80 degree room temp it is 135-140 f. this is into an 8 ohm load and a normal volume. it seems too hot to me? never has shut down. the manual does not say . Thanks for any info.

Mine regularly runs about 130F and is perfectly normal. I just had it serviced by CJ and a kitchen thermometer on the heat sink shows the same about 130F at all times. I use 4 ohm Maggies but the temp doesn't seem to vary much at all.

Hi, thanks for the info , I think it is too hot and will give cj a call. they must hold the service books in a safe I think. I can't find one that has bias adjust spec anywhere.
