I was on the verge of buying the Sony STR-DA2400ES and then realised that my tv unit may not be big enough for it to fit in. I never really thought about it before that.
Looking on the Sony website the height is quoted as 157.5mm. Measuring my unit it has a 158mm space for the equipment. Now I'm pretty sure that 0.5mm is not enought clearance for a big receiver with the amount of heat it probably generates!
Replacing the tv unit is definitely not an option. So I have a few questions:
[*]I'm guessing most amps have grills on the top and bottom? (obviously most of the heat would be coming out of the top if so)
[*]Is it possible to get this receiver or one of the below and fit new feet so that the unit is a bit lower in profile?[*]Are there any receivers that are sufficiently lower profile than 158mm?
I'm looking in the kind of range of the Sony STR-DA2400ES, Sony STR-DG820, Yamaha DSP-AX763 and may stretch to the Yamaha DSP-AX863SE. I wanted a Sony to integrate with my tv a bit better really but its not essential.
