Hey all,

Still lovin the LSi25's...used them for about 4 weeks now. I run the volume at half on each speaker and the crossover is at factory setting.

After watching a 2 hour movie, the amps are pretty hot...not like fry an egg on it hot, but if you hold your hand on it for a few seconds you it's certainly not "just warm." I have them set to auto shut off.

Is this normal?

    It is something normal in temperature. The LSI operates at 4 ohms and the load power to the amplifier.
    Check your connection: clean and well-adjusted
