A friend of mine has had one for a while...it barely gets warm.

I am thinking about buying this integrated to couple with my totem sttaf speakers. My question is how hot does it get? The only place I can keep it is in my tv stand. Which has a vented back but is otherwise closed in. There would about 2in clearance on the sides and about 8in clearance above.
