Ideal would be the fan that forces air from bottom to the top of the heatsinks. Any air speed would be much better than cooling by convection only. There are very quiet slow fans available, but positioning them might be difficult. My amplifier runs only warm, but lowering temperature always extends life of electrolytic capacitors. Some of the laptop coolers are advertised as quiet, but it might be still audible while fans are likely positioned in wrong places. I'm thinking about building 1-2" tall base with quiet fans in the proper location and side air intakes. Good, easy home project.
