The amp has been on and running my whole system for about 7 hours straight now, with volume levels ranging from quiet background to 'listen to THIS!' levels. Right now we're watching TV at moderate level, DPLII - so all speakers powered. Ambient room temp is 68, using my wife's oven thermometer lying on top of the amp, it's reading 82.

Seriously, for $500 (with shipping!) this thing really does seem to be a steal. Again my first experience with a discrete amplifier, so I don't have anything to compare. But I'm QUITE happy with it.

Man I got to get one of these amps already!

Peter, with the 4ohm M80's, does your amp put out a lot of heat? Or is it running cool? Just wondering that's all.
