How hot do a pair of Pass Labs X600 amps run ?

According to Pass they idle at 600 watts.
I'm not an engineer, but my research translates
600W to 4,000 BTU. What have owners experienced?
Thanks.

The amps contain a thermal cutout that will shut them down if the heatsink temperature exceeds 167 degrees Fahrenheit. This is considerably cooler than the heat sinks on my old Aleph 1.2 amps.

This should give pause to owners of the trim mega watt "class A" amps that abound.
