wid - I was able to get the 1080 to run hot as well... listening at a steady 105dB with peaks well north of 110dB I felt like I'd been to a concert after that listening session. It would have probably run even hotter if I had it installed in my entertainment center... I was just running it with open air on all sides when I had it for the weekend.

What kind of levels are you talking?
