Your friend is probably the only owner of the A1400-8 using it sideways. It will not get hot; perhaps little warm if he keeps the cabinet doors closed.
Three VP-150s across the top is very interesting; talk about matching the center to the mains. Unless the screen is retractable, one more center below the screen would be ideal. I also read somewhere that the A1400-8 runs cooler if all channels are connected.
With all this recent talk and setups with dual/multiple subs, I am finding myself increasingly motivated toward a second EP-500.
Thanks for the pics, John.
