Hmmmmm, even though the Parasound's are not what I would call a "Hot" running amp, I would suggest tweaking your ventilation a bit. Even 2 small fans at the rear just to move a little more air would be a good idea. I would also never have that fireplace on when the gear is running!
At the end of the day, you know my view on the Parsound's........I think you went the right way and you will not be disappointed. I'm not sure if my pro Parasound ramblings via PM helped or hindered you but I hope I was of some help!
Post back when you get everything up and running and please...........................tweak the ventilation just a little! :-)
