How hot is too hot?

I am running a Gryphon Diablo 300 to drive a pair of Magico A3.  My room size is around 3m*4.5M.  I usually listen at around the 80db level, mainly to jazz and classical music.

My room temperature is almost always kept at 26 degrees Celsius in the summer.  After operating after an hour or so, the heat sinks of the 300 often gets up to 50 degrees with the top cover at 38 degrees.  My dealer told me these temperatures are normal but I feel this is hot (too hot?).

I should also add that the amp is placed on the top of a flat open shelf so there is no question on ventilation.

Any experience by other Diablo 300 users to share?

TIA!

"We’re all Devo Grandpa."

 

 

Devo, the New Wave band, based their work on the theory of "de-evolution," which posits that humanity is not evolving forward, but rather regressing or devolving, particularly due to the negative influence of consumer culture and corporate control. The band’s name itself, short for "de-evolution," reflects this core concept. They used music, visual imagery, and performance to satirize and criticize what they saw as societal decay.
