I recently bought a M100, would you like me to take a picture of what the capacitors look like, they're leaking for sure. Could cause serious problems if you don't change them.

it maybe the caps as every one is saying i read this thing about caps going bad mostly bass performance suffers along with upper end detail loss also midrange distortion rears its ugly head. i had a 0.3 that had leaky caps and it sounded bad almost as bad as brand x amps sound i replaced the caps and the sound was alot better. at the very least i would replace those input caps and give it a good once over for any noticable problems. then if every thing is ok put the amp back together and see if the problem is gone if not the folks on here can help you out.
