Title pretty much says it all. Whenever I see a thead about a rotel component running hot I always check my 1068 and sure enough its always hot to the touch. When the weather is hot it gets hot enough where I wouldnt want to keep my hand on it for any length of time (my apartment has terrible air flow and with the energy costs going out of control I only use the AC for sleeping).
I have never had any issues with the 1068 shutting down or going into standby. Never had it pop, click, strain, etc so I tend not to worry about it. In fact, yesterday was the first time I felt maybe I should give it a break and didnt have it on most of day. Bear in mind when I am home the whole system is on since it gets used for tv (in addition to movies/music). I am a bit of TV junkie so its on often.
Just wanted to post my experience with heat and the 1068. Like I said, there has never been an issue with the unit but I guess there could some long term effect. For reference I do have a very open audio rack - a salamander archetype.
