The current Rotel thread has touched on heat issues and rather than hijack, I'm moving my side question here.
I'm considering building some custom cabinets for my rec room to house all the bits and pieces. My Yamaha Rx owner's manual (i know, i actually used it
) recommends clearance of 30cm above and 20cm left/right/rear. Flipping through the owner's gallery pictures, most Rxers don't seem to have anywhere near this clearance.
I wouldn't think my 5860 runs hotter than anybody else. Is the 30-20 overkill? Has anybody installed a small fan to promote circulation?
Obviously I don't want to blow anything up but this is valuable real estate.
