Low-heat-output amp for Devore O/96

My Shindo amp/preamp combo sounds fantastic with these speakers, but during the sticky summer months here in N.C., my listening room gets uncomfortably warm, even with the central AC on. I've considered something like a First Watt JC2, but my understanding is these also put out lots of heat due to Class A operation. Any suggestions for a cool-running solid state amp that would sound good with the Devores?

Valvet E2 is quite a stunning amp. Runs medium warm. 10Audio just did a review on it.
From the first notes, I knew it was a keeper. Toes were tapping and a big smile on my face.
Vs my 300B amps it has a better lower end foundation and great rhythmic drive while still maintaining a glorious midrange.
