How are most of you handling the heat issue with Halo amps? I went to a dealer the other day and he had two JC1 monoblocks sitting on the floor wide open with nothing obstructing the back top or sides. They were powered on but had no signal and nothing was playing. They were hotter then hell!I could not rest my hand on top of either one of these amps for more then a few seconds.
My understanding is that the A51 is also a class A/AB amplifer and I'm concerned that heat will eventually kill it. I haven't made the purchase yet but will be auditioning one the week after next.
The cabinet I will be putting it in has a hinged oak framed door with glass inserts. The dimensions are 12" H x 22 1/2" W. The cabinet is open in the back.
Here's a picture of cabinet with the door open on the left and what it looks like with the door closed on the right. The A51 will take the place of the Rotel RMB-1095.
I see several pictures of Parasound amps stuck in a rack with very little clearance between components. How are they handling all that heat? Are you guys using fans? Should I be worried?
Thanks in advance.
