RSX-1056 & Heat Issues

[brandonb]

I currently have my RDV-1040 sitting directly on top of my 1056, while I know this isn't an optimal setup, am I causing any harm to it while I shop around for a decent rack?

If anyone has any suggestions on a modern-design 4-5 shelf rack, please let me know as well. I've been looking at some options from AVDeco, but they are a bit pricey.

Thx!

In my opinion, yes, especially if the 1056 has vents on top, which I believe it does. Receivers/pre-pros disseminate a lot of heat, be careful.

You may want to post the rack recommendations in the Home Theater forum, you would probably get better feedback. I actually use a Salamander rack, check out the Rotel pics on the forum.

Just my monies worth.

Regards,

There was a few DVD players of various brands not that long ago that were failing early and in nearly every case it was b/c people put them on top of hot amps or recievers. While its not likely going to kill it in a week or three I wouldn't do it for much longer if you can help it....at the very least until that time I'd look at adding something under each foot to help lift it up a little more to allow more room for them both to breath
