Does the 1066 generate much heat? Also, does it have vent holes in the top? I completely forgot to check when I was auditioning. I'm trying to figure out if I'll be able to fit everything in my current cabinet.

I think it generates quite a bit of heat, right up where the powersupply is located. That's also the place where some cutt outs are to get rid of the heat. I would keep it cleared a bit for proper cooling. -
Yes, It gets real "HOT" :evil: There are vent holes on top and bottom but I feel there should be better ventilation for this unit as it produces some real heat.

Yes it does get hot. I have it in a display cabinet with about 2 inches free above it and it seems to be ok. I spoke to my dealer about it and he said not to worry as they do have a reputation for running hot but that is normal.
I beleive they have a safety cut out if they run too hot anyway. Mine has never cut out.Comment

My RSP-1066 is in an open rack with about 2-3 inches space above it and open on the front,rear and sides and only gets warm to the touch even when not shut down for days.I had a Sony ES receiver as a pre/surround amp before and it ran only warm as well ,but now I have the Sony in another room in an enclosed entertainment unit(with glass doors) and it runs quite hot.So open racks have much better air flow and make a big difference as to the operating temp your gear will reach.Comment

What 1066 are we talking about: the RSP or the RMB?
I asume one gets (much) hotter than the other..

Same as Claude. I've got an open rack with a bit more than 3 inches of space above my RSP-1066. Only gets warm.Comment

I was asking about the RSP-1066. I figured any of the amps would make a fair amount of heat.What 1066 are we talking about: the RSP or the RMB?Comment

WoW mine must be an icecube compared to some of you guys! I have less than 2" clearance in a flexi rack and my 1066 just gets warm. I did wedge a power supply fan between the shelf and the 1066 inline with the vent just in case it gets hot, but I have yet to turn it on.Comment

Same here.. I've got about maybe 3/8" till I hit a vented shelf and then however tall the feet on a RMB-1066 are.. Barely warm after a full night of playing.. Now granted it is fully open on the front, back, and sides...but heat should rise..
