Is it O.K. to mass load a X250 Pass Amp?


I was just wondering if anybody had experience regarding mass loading an X250 amp(Pass). I've mass loaded the rest of my components with nice results and then decided to put some weight on the amp but the weights cover some of the ventilation. Is this very bad? Does anybody have experience with mass loading equipment including amps with ventilation slots?
What about speakers? I've had mixed results using Totem Beaks on my speakers so I've decided not to mass load the speakers for now.

Do not do anything that hinders airflow in, out or around an amp, especially a high bias unit that runs hot. If you really feel the need to do this, you might want to construct some type of elevated platform that is several inches above the amp but uses the amp as the support structure. How you go about doing this will obviously have an outcome on the results and / or the amount of heat allowed to escape. Sean
