Does the Krell KAV-400Xi overheat?

I ran accross this ariticle about the 400Xi:

http://www.stereophile.com/integratedamps/205krell/index4.html

The reviewer states the Krell might well overheat if used for a party. This worries me a bit. I don't play my music really loud, but I'm going to be running a pair of Usher CP-6381's which are only rated at an 87dB efficiency.

I had just about mad up my mind to buy this unit when I ran across this article.

Any 400Xi owners out there?

It shouldnt provided it has ventillation on top.
I ran my kav 300i for 8 hours straight at modest levels and it does get pretty warm but not too hot to be touched.
