Its a workhorse, so yes they tend to get toasty. Rotel disipates the heat well which is why we can feel it.

I concur, it's packed full of heat producing components that run at full tilt reguardless of the volume level.

Indeed, just ensure you have adequate ventilation, and the Pre-pro is on top of the rack if possible.

It gets hotter than my amps! So I keep it on the top shelf, right under the fan.

Mine gets really hot too and I've been meaning to ask the question here as well. Glad to know I don't have a faulty unit!!

Hmmm...I am in the minority here.I have never noticed the heat from my 1068...and certainly not warmer than my 1095.And never have I felt it hot...it also in less space than the amp.....funny.

It may be "mode" dependant H. Donald, on the left side you will note the vents which may be above the power supply and or processor. Mine is cool this morning, but I have noticed it run hot. Still not to worry.........
