ratpack. Heat isn't good for electronics, no arguement there. But I find some amps get what some consider warm or hot just by being on.
My carver amps are examples of this. If I leave them on, nothing playing ( woman has done this a few time having forgotten to turn them off ) they get quite warm. It has no fan. But they get the same temp when playing something too. 10+ yrs old and no issues yet.
I hate commenting on things I have no hands on experience with, but yamaha's in general apparantly get quite warm. And their fans never kick in automatically until it's REALLY hot vs something like my Nad which it's fans are on all the time...all 5 of them. It makes me wonder if it's really fair to compare sometimes.
