I am running a First Watt J2 in my small,(9x13x8) listening room. This amp gets hot. Our a/c is run in the summer to keep the house at 72. It is a little warmer in my room in the summer, but not uncomfortably. I have a low tolerance for summer heat and I don’t find it unbearable.
Pass Labs Amps - Does the heat bother you?
I am very intrigued by pass amplifiers (NOT the intergateds). I have heard many good things about them. However, I also have heard from many people that they get really hot. I am interested in the stereo amps.... like the X350.
Curious, if you own one or used to own one... how do/did you deal with the heat? I wouldn’t want it heating up my living room where the AC runs more (which kills my music enjoyment session).
Also, I usually leave my amp on from 5:00 pm till I go to bed (anywhere from 9:00 pm to 12 am). Not sure how that would come into play if a pass labs would be a good fit for me.
