Ice fans for listening during warm/hot days

@russ69 This what I do. I also never use fans when listening, I'm a stickler for maximizing  lowest possible ambient noise floors.  I also run low power SET amps and DHT pre, these aren't the space heaters more powerful class a/b SS, class A SS, push pull tubes and powerful SET amps I ran in the past.

I just cool the house down to 65 degrees, then turn the air off. I'm good for a couple of hours. 

How about Dyson?I see their adds touting how quiet & powerful they are but never tried one...

IF you can successfully run a de-humidifier in the space prior to listening, that can get the space more comfortable, the opposite of blowing over ice.

hahahahahaahahaha,I read the title & thought you were asking for Class D "Ice" amps for summer listening,which makes more sense to me than a fan blowing over blocks of ice...

I searched out an extremely quiet fan for my bedroom, maybe good for audio also

Just Curious, are you running hot tube gear?

Yes mini split is the way to go basically silent.

I had a mini-split installed in my listening room. It's quieter than the fan that I was using.

For maximum quiet airflow, you would want as large of a fan as possible, moving slowly, rather than a small fan spinning like crazy.  Think of the difference between the airflow of a Big Ass Fan in a larger room, vs 1 or many more smaller fans running like crazy, moving the same volume of air, but making a lot of noise doing so.

Can you install a large ceiling fan rather than using a smaller desk fan? 

If you live in an environment that isn't too humid, you could also look into evaporative cooling.  Those can be quite effective at cooling a space with relatively low cost and doing it quietly. 

A little trick I have used for years is a 240 volt fan (like a small PC box fan) running at 120 volts so it is half speed and practically silent. If you need more airflow then this won't do it. I set it over the tubes on my preamp and with the perforated lid it pulls air through and out of the tube area.

This is all for naught once the A/C kicks on in my room and the airflow noise is annoying for several minutes. Win some. Lose some.

I always wanted to rig up a duct to the attic space to totally exhaust the hot air. But I don't have enough component heat to justify that fun project.
