Hi Ryno, living in Austin I do empathize with your plight! But I fear that the only time pure tube amps are cool is when they are turned off. . . but then so do a lot of SS class A and A/B like my own JRDG 7Ms. If you were not interested in exploring alternative Texas-friendly technologies, like high end switching and some excellent cool running SS like the Theta Citadel monos, you may want to explore some of the excellent hybrids from Lam and ARC.
