    I also have an SA-8800 with the fluroscan (sp?)meters. I like it but cannot get it to power a vintage set of 4 ohm speakers I restored, even though the amp is supposed to be able to power 4 ohm speakers. The amp shuts off after about 20 seconds. It works great with 8 ohm speakers, though.

      4 ohm is much higher load than 8 ohm.

      Has it been serviced? It’s like an old car that isn’t as powerful as it could be until someone gives the engine an overhaul.

      After a full service it should behave as in the specs
