You should be fine.  We've had a couple of 6000s that rev up to full speed at idle but System Architect doesn't show them anywhere near thermal limit.. maybe 20%?  Then we pound them.  No thermal shutdowns, no thermal errors.

I'll have to put a sticker on them so I can follow more closely, but in the 15 months we've had our I-Techs, we've only sent in 2 for service (warranty) and that was for the sputtering, frying bacon sound on channel 2.  That, apparently, is a ribbon cable issue.  And we just bought 4 more...

We've taken the Sound Image approach:  we send out *1* spare ITech with every rig.  Just 1.  So far I've never had to replace an amp at a gig, but I've used the spare to power a wedge for a VIP area several times.

With 3000+ hours, I'd say Arik's amp is broken in, not broken.  If you're really concerned call Kevin Gring at Crown's Elkhart factory and get his opinion.  He might have you run a couple of diagnostics before he can say "don't worry" or "send it in."

Have fun, good luck.
