I purchased this amp on ebay and after a few days of use I smelt burning plastic and the left channel died. After opening it up I saw that 2 resistors had blown R216 and R214 (I also replaced the surrounding resistors incase damaged). I powered it up and it worked fine it was stable untill I connected it to a my speakers (old b and W 686s), at which point both the same resistors burnt up in a second. Would replacing the sap15s help as I see that on the board that they are the tings connected to these resistors? And advice would be great thanks

A schematic would be helpful.

I don't see any way to cook these resistors unless the power transistor is blown?
