Thanks Steve! I think the speakers were close to failure, both units have a 60hz hum when hot by the regulators/main caps: Regulators might be End of life. Recapped/non recapped both draw about 22-23 watts each when idle. Ever seen someone open up some holes/slots in the back for some convection air flow? Going to play around with the configurations, remote mounting with heat sinks will most likely be it.


@all_In, have not opened up my SE units, they idle and run MUCH cooler. Running for hours SE units are cooler then the Non SL units in stand by. would be nice if .2 or SE kits could still be had, would happily diy it.
