I never said they never touched anything, you read what you want into what I post. I said they were taught what not to touch. As a matter of fact I taught them at a very early age how to operate the equipment. They were brought up to respect what wasn't theirs.

Good for you, Rick! When I was young, my Father used to say to me "ask yourself one question 'is it mine'? If the answer is no, then keep your hands off it." A concept worth learning and teaching.

And I am just saying kids will be kids and accidents happen. But to have an Amp on a stand and a child trips/stumbles into it and to have it fall to the ground would be a little hard to take. Again just an accident, the child never meant to touch it, but accidents happen. As good as kids can be, they still stumble and trip over their own feet; that was more or less what I was thinking when writing my original comment, didn't mean to offend. Must remember to finish my thoughts more when writing especially replying.

My kids also respect their/my stuff, but as I pointed out, an innocent inquiry and I now have a minor blemish. I actually blame myself for the ding, as I should have shown him what they were and told not to touch them after I took the grills off(like you said you did). He never showed any interest in the speakers (they are on a shelf/mantle over my fireplace about 4' off the ground) before and it never occurred to me that he might actually be interested in them with the grills off, totally my fault.

>>Another option may be to put a return air duct in the closet (if there is not one already)...it would accomplish the same thing...pull air from the theatre through the rack out the ceiling of the closet...

Good ideas there. I'm thinking a return air grill going through the closet wall, above the rack maybe a foot below the ceiling. That would let warm air back into the room and encourage circulating air.

I would still punch holes in the amp shelves no matter what else you do. Don't punch so many holes the shelves break and dump your precious precious amps on the floor, of course.

I gave up on trying to figure this issue out for tonight, but have been spending my time trying to find a better placement for my ep600 to get a better performance, I've verrry tired and about had it..there has to be an easier way.

If it was me, before ripping out sheetrock and doing more finish carpentry, I'd probably try to increase the ventilation by taking a hole-saw to the cabinet sides and possibly putting a couple quiet PC fans in there. Or you could even just try the fans at the back of the cabinet to see if MOVING the air in the existing clearance solves the problem.

Getting more clearance around the amps is going to be a PITA, and may or may not solve your problem if they're still "in a box".




I second Tom’s idea of quite computer fans. The 25cm fan in my HTPC case is dead quite.

25 cm?! I've never seen a computer fan bigger that 135mm!

It’s the side fan in this case, which is a monster.
