Cool running amplifier


I'm looking for an amplifier to drive Totem Sttafs in my main great room. It will be housed inside a cabinet - ample air around it and ventilation from the back, but since I want to leave it on 24/7 I want one that idles cool.

budget is <$700 for a used power amp or integrated. I have in mind a musical fidelity a3.x, or ps audio hca. Do these fit the bill? Any others that I should look for?  

Thanks!

Sunfire symphonic reference power amplifier, 250 watt 8ohm doubled to 500 watt 4ohm. Auto input signal turn on is a nice ’set and forget’ feature, Load invariant technology which allows the amp to put out tremendous amounts of power while generating almost no heat.
@bdgregory
You can try a Current Sensing Auto On/Off Outlet instead, plug the TV to ’Tools outlet’ and plug the amplifier to ’Vacuum/Accessory outlet’. , The amplifier will automatically turn on when you turn on the TV and amplifier will automatically turn off 7 seconds later after the TV is off.

I believe OP’s preamp is on 24/7 and I think he has to try those outlet to be sure.
