Tenor 75 Wi OTL


Just bought this OTL by Tenor.

Living in Destin FL and owning the Atmasphere S30 amp I could remove some power tubes to reduce the heat in the summer. Can this be done with the Tenor?

Kelly High End in Ca. who I bought from said the amps puts off very little heat after being on for a hour or two. BS from the seller?

The plate dissipation of the 6AS7G output tube is 13 watts for a total of 130 watts in the S30. The plate dissipation of the 6C33C is 60 watts for a total of 240 watts in the Tenor. The Tenor will run significantly hotter. It also has a fan which takes the heat away from the amp and spreads it throughout the room. I've been in a fairly large room in the summer with the Tenor and within ten minutes I started sweating. It did sound terrific, however.
I should add that for the Tenor, it's 240 watts of dissipation per monoblock so the actual dissipation in your room is 480 watts.
