Best fan for cooling your music room


I have a small (9' x 10') listening room with tube DAC, tube preamp and Pass labs X250.5 amp driving Sound Labs M545 speakers. During summer, the room can get quite warm and I would like to find a way to cool the room without touching the AC. I was thinking of placing a very quiet fan (low voltage also?) at the front wall; just a gentle breeze will do. Any recommendations on a fan and how to place it?

thanks, Jay

I'm afraid not, I never get on with fans. To me it just feels like they move hot air around. I'd rather use a cool mist spray bottle to keep myself cool, if necessary.

You should try to elevate the boxes a little to allow max airflow. A periodic clean with an air duster or brush will help. Especially heatsinks and tubes.
But take care.

I give my PC a good clean out every 6 months or so just to keep it quiet. The cpu fan can get quite dusty.

Same for my amp every few years, but it's a real pain with all the leads and small screws.
