Any suggestions on coolest running monoblocks?


I am looking to upgrade my system with monoblocks in 40W-200W and $1k-$4k price range (used). Would like opinions on best sounding but coolest running amps since my room becomes unbearable after 3 hours of listing to my tube integrated. Must have balanced inputs. Is ss the only way for me to go? Thanks.

Thanks all for your input.

Fatparrot - maybe I don't need monoblocks with this type of amp. My limited experience has been that when going from a single stereo amp to two of the same amps bridged mono, the channel separation, clarity and dynamics were significantly better. I assumed that the total isolation of circuits was the main reason for much of the improvement. Furthermore, since manufacturers are making monoblock digital amps, I though that there might be some sonic reason for doing this (not just to make some extra $$$). Any thoughts?

Wrp - what differences caused you to favor the CI units?
