Air space for McIntosh MC-275


McIntosh manual recommends 12 inch of air space above the amp(tube) for adequate ventilation. My rack only allows about 8 inch of space above it. Does it sound like a problem that I should address with a cooling fan perphaps?

I would say monitor the shelf above and see if it is getting too hot. If not you probably have adequate ventilation.
My MC352 is in a smaller space than recommended and it never gets too hot to touch.
