Magtech Amplifier

Just looking for some comments on this amp.
I have the stereo version, running Magnepan 3.7's.Works great , but at higher volume it runs very hot.
You can't hold your hand on it hot.
Others who have this unit finding the same thing?

I may have to...The first one I bought died shortly after I got it, and he just sent me a new one. Great service. Apparently a part on a board was too close to something and they redesigned the layout to solve the issue.
He did say that 3.7's, indeed all jaggies, are very power hungry. And i do like to crank the volume ...just worries me when I see all the comments about the amp running cool...
Just got a used Ref 3 to drive it, and naturally it sounds better so the tendency is louder still..))
Thanks for the feedback...

Kiwi,
My room is cool as well, but the amp runs very hot when I"m playing music at fairly loud volumes. It sounds great, I'm just wondering why all the reviews/comments talk about how cool this runs, when in my case this is not occurring.

Kiwi,
It's hot to the point that keeping your hand there for more that 10 seconds starts
to be painful.
This is when the speakers are being pushed, and I like the volume up .
I do know Mr Sanders told me that maggies are very power hungry, and take a
lot of watts when they are pushed loud.
Maybe it's time for the mono versions...
Just concerned that this may be shortening the life of the amp, given all the heat.
Maybe it's nothing to worry about...

Well, the amp died last week. One of the 15 amp fuses broke:glass shattered, but the metal remained in tack. The speaker fuse blew, and no damage done.
As to the possibility of cables occulting, as I am using Sanders speakers cable, I'm pretty sure I am ok on that matter.
Will be sending it back today for repairs, and perhaps Roger will find something that will explain the heat when he does repairs.
Given all the comments I've seen on the web about how these run cool, I'm curious if I just got one with an issue that slipped by and showed itself when connected in a system.
This is the second trip back...first one died due to a bad board design that was changed shortly after mine was purchased, and Roger simply replace the amp.
Excellent guy to deal with, and I'd recommend his products no question asked. Crap happens!!

Couldn't agree more. All people in his business, or any other for that matter, could lean a lot from his business practices. A rare one!
