I was always taught to hold power dissipation in a resistor to one-half its power rating.

Thanks Chuck
Its a 10w resistor with about 9w dissipation so I guess it is doing what it was designed to do. As a hobbyist only having worked on a few solid state amplifiers, all you read suggests avoiding such heat in a resistor.?
