Luxman 590axii ventilation

Question for other class A owners out there. I’m keen on picking up a Luxman 590axii but my placement is limited to a cabinet shelf with an open back/front with about 1” of clearance above the amp. I can add some ventilation holes to the shelf above, but will be limited by a center channel speaker sitting on that shelf. Am I asking for trouble with a class a amp?

thanks!

I own the L-590. An inch isn't enough, in my opinion. I have 2" above mine, plus open sides, front, and back. I'd like to have more space above it. It doesn't get hot, but more free air would be better.

trent, without knowing more, I'm inclined to tell you to look for different cabinetry. Easy for me to say, obviously. It's a stupendous amp, but needs adequate clearance for cooling.
