I have a Pass 250.8 in a 13x 23 room running Sabrina with a JLf113 V.2. It always heats the room to 70 - 72 in the winter months and to 74 in the summer- too hot despite sounding great. I run a pair of Bel Canto REF600m in the warmer months and they will probably end up being my main amps as I downsize. Inevitably the 100 pound Pass will become too heavy at some point.
Ditching Class A Amps due to Heat - Sort of a Poll
A discussion elsewhere about the future of Class A made me wonder how true one statement really is. So the questions are...
Have you done away with your Class A Amp due to Heat concerns?
Will you be moving away from Class A Amp due to Heat concerns?
Will you never buy a Class A Amp due to Heat concerns?
I only have a class A/B unit that does Class A up to 6 watts with almost no heat so really can't speak for those who have used in the past or currently own and run Class A Amps.
