Socket, i have 2 Class A Krell amps... i just temped them like you said with an infrared gun.

My amps at normal listening volume for me.. maybe 50db? My 3 channel amps is 107 degrees, and my 2 channel amp is 95 degrees... I knew my amps ran warm, but for some reason never though of temping them....

i have one for work, and i love it. Stops me from pickin up stuff thats hot.Dakkon is that celcius or farenheit. I have noticed now when i watch movies that even when its loud it not at all annoying and i can listen to it much louder now. Will update once i retrieve my gun. btw its also great for the computer.

I'm sorry, that is Fahrenheit.. I forget about you canadians with that strange metric/Celsius stuffs...


I actually keep a temp gun for an iron skillet that i use to grill fish and other meat on when it is 100+ degrees outside, or don't feel like starting a fire in the grill.

We had 100+ days of 100F degree weather this last summer, have to love Dallas weather....

Im still old school. I like farenheit and i changed the speedo in my car to MPH. I still do MPG that other way makes no sense. Litres per 100km. As for the heat, you can have it. Rode my motorcycle to pheonix one fall, 116 degree's thought i was going to melt laugh and yeah they are a handy tool and have alot of applications. Mostly use it on cooling system problems.

Thats a pretty decent temp on your amps,though i sure in that climate it can put a strain on the AC

Speedo? You wear one of those things? Now that I am in my 40's I have been thinking of getting one.
