Oxymoron: High powered tube amps that stay cool


or even reasonably cool. is there such a thing?

(i find it vexing that living in a hot climate area, houston, that the high powered SS amps i like all run class A / room heater).

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.

Hi Buscis2, could you point us to some Chinese green designs that you have found particularly interesting. . . I will look them up at RMAF for sure. Guido
