Hi second the opinion about the construction. At the price of Joule electra equipment, you would expect no less than superior build. I cannot say that about the Joule Electra amps. Very poorly build compared to Lamm, ARC etc or even chinese amps.
Joule - Electra: Just How Hot??
I'm considering Joule Electra mono blocs as a source of amplification. My fundamental question is not about the sonics rather this is a question for those that actually have J-E in their system: How much heat do they throw off and how do you manage--especially in the warm months of the year? Or is the heat issue not really a major problem? My room is 25 X 17 X 13 (LxW xH)with 4 air conditioning vents and 2 heat extraction ducts.
