Wharfedale Pro MP2800 amplifier get very hot after turn on

Wharfedale 2800 pro amplifier get very hot when I turn it on, so I decided to test the channels one by one and I discovered that the channel A is the curse, Because immediately I plugged the A channel it will get hot but if remove it, it became normal, and when I try troubleshort on the output transistors on board, they all seems ok on board.
Please I need directions on the next steps to take. 
Thanks.

Hello,
I would check the output with scope (DC,high frequency excitation)and the output transistors 
separately.Are the power supply voltages on the emitter resistors OK?Are the A and B Curve OK?

Thanks for the contribution, that what I am doing now checking the output transistors separately, but I don't have scope. Talking about the supply voltage on emitter resistor, I don't really know how to do that. Do you have any idea on the voltage range that suppose to be present in emitter resistor?
and how to test it.

Hello,
Check the voltages on the emitter resistor chain (0.22 ohm 5w) (dummy load,zero volume)
If the transistor is faulty,higher current flows,and higher voltage can be measured. (0-1V)
Are the QA 26 and QA 37 OK?
