If your voltage at 13 is 5.5V there is something very wrong with your amp.  Do both the 270 ohm 5W resistors look OK and unburned?

Did you carefully mount the TIP50 transistors as instructed in the manual?  If the hardware and insulating pads aren't put on properly, you'll end up with this exact situation.
