I have a classe ca2200 with B&W 804S's and cp500. Just wondering if it normal that heatsink #2 is always 3-4 degrees warmer then heatsink #1. This has been like this since day one. Was wondering what kind temp readings you guys get. It is enough that i can feel that 3-4 degree difference to the touch. Doesn't affect the sound, so i don't think i should be worried. Thank you, MIKE

I just got a 1098 a couple weeks ago (love it). Mine is in a cabinet that is completely enclosed, but I am using a series of fans to pull the hot air out of the cabinet. I think there is good airflow, and...-

by jdbakerDue to the A51 being larger than I anticipated, it had to be installed in an enclosed cabinet. I can prop the cabinet door open and it also has a small exhaust fan. I have never had any problems with the A51 over-heating but I was concerned and finally bought a thermometer. After many hours of playing...-

The placement is such that the sides are very close but there is a distance made with wood so there is absout 5 cm of air gap below and about 15 cm above and no front/back cover.
Still the rotel...-
