Does anyone have Cambridge Audio 651A with Q-Acoustics 2050i ?

Well, I have this combination, but CA651A gets into Protect Mode withn 15mins of playing with less than half volume. 2050i is 6ohms impedance but I can't find that as a reason for CA651A not able to drive 2050i and gets heated up (and apprently siwtches off, in protect mode).

Want to know if this is specific to the 651A piece I have, or is there more generic issue with the Amp.

Any of you friends have these 2 components and working fine ? Highly appreciate inputs from those who own these 2, since am going nuts right now, and frustrated as well.

Cheers!
 
Very common issue,there could be 2 reasons 1) Power supply issue ,earthing, low voltage etc 2) You got to replace it !! I am sorry to say this sir

Its just gone over protective :ohyeah:

It behaved the same way at the Dealer's place, where he has very good power conditioner. So I doubt its about power source, instead its inability. Anyways, gave back and took a full refund.

Last I heard, even the service guys don't knw what is wrong. I didn't get any response form CA Support Guys from UK either.

Lost confidence in the brand. DOn't want to take a replacement.

Going for ARCAM A19 instead, hoping 2050i is a good match for Arcam's character.
