Does Pass Aleph 3 heat up the room like tube amp?

Could any of your Aleph 3 owners tell me how hot is the amp running? Does it heat up the room like tube amps do?

I currently own a Diavolo SET amp which make my smallish room pretty toasty! I didn't had that problems with my old 300B amp before.

Keep the door open while listening is not an option as my 2 year old's room is near by.

my experience has been that if you choose a system based on the heat that it makes (or doesn't), the sound will reflect that.

If the heat issue is really that bad, look into class D amps.

There are probably other alternatives though. You could vent the heat out of the room via the ceiling or a vent near the ceiling. Or you could use more efficient speakers and run a smaller amp.
