Hello James,
Here is an update:
I let the amp cool down a little, turned it back on and the channel was green and working again.
Left it on for a few hours and using it with no problem.
Then i turned it off to let it cool right down to about room temperature, turned it back on again with no speakers or input connected to that channel, again it overheated within 10mins.
Turned it off again until it cooled down a little and turned back on all was ok and running at normal temp.
So it seems to be only an issue when powering on from cold, once its cut out it then works ok.
This particular channel i have been using all week before it went to pmc with no problems. Which may just be a coincidence.
As you can imagine i am quite frustrated with this now, to have 2 faults on 2 seperate channels on a brand new amp. So it appears i have a substandard unit and I have lost confidence in bryston equipment at the moment.
I do not think this is acceptable at this level and quality of amp. I assume and hope this is not the norm else you would not give such a good warrenty.
So i would like a completly new 6B and to keep the faulty one until it arrives then swap them out.
Could you let me know if this is possible?
If you would rather chat about this on email rather than this forum i am happpy to do so.
Richard
*edit* Just to confirm it is everytime so far, just switched it on again from room temp after 5 mins it cut off with yellow led, this time i did not turn it off manually, it cooled on its own then led went green and amp kept dropping in temp until normal temp was reached.
