Use only the rated fuses.

As indicated in another post, most likely one of the power tubes blew. The 6AS7 tubes are a different breed, and will still generally light up even if blown. If you don't have a tube tester to check them out, go to the Atma-Sphere website and read about the visual examination procedure.

If in fact a tube blew, just pull a pair out of each amp and run them that way until you can get a replacement tube.

Do make sure to check the DC offset when you do that.

Also, read the manual carefully for the unit, and make sure that you give the tubes plenty of time to warm up before applying full power.
