Leave it on or turn it off?


I have a Classe CA-301 amp. When I leave it on 24/7 it gets very very hot(SPACE HEATER). If I only turn it on when I'm listening to music it stays quite a bit cooler. What are the long term advantages to just leaving it on?(If any) Thanks in advance.

Spectral recommends explicitly that their DMA-360 amps not be left on unattended for long periods, because of potential speaker damage during brown-outs or power outs. Check with Classe on their recommendations for their amps.
Dwpc, high quality surge protection should help, but there are no guarantees with lightening strikes.
