I wonder if anyone owns one of these and could help me?
I've had this amp for 3 weeks and the top of it feels hotter (subjective I know) than any previous amp I've owned. I originally had it positioned with a CD player sitting on top of it, which obviously didn't help the cooling, and the top was too hot to comfortably keep my hand on it for very long. The front panel was also very warm. I now have it free standing on a shelf with nothing above. It has cooled down somewhat but the top still feels very warm to the touch, though I can now comfortably keep my hand on it, and the front panel is just slightly warm. I've seen videos of these amps in a stack or sitting inside cabinets - I wouldn't feel comfortable doing that with something that runs this hot.
The amp is driving a pair of 90 db, 8 ohm speakers in a 4m x 4m room. I listen at low to medium volume levels. Never go beyond -30 db on the amp's volume display.
I sent an email to the manufacturer 2 weeks ago but have had no response, so I thought I would try here before phoning them.
Thank you.
