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 just demo'd the L509x.  It was positioned in open on a mono amp stand, but even after operation for over an hour it was warm but nowhere close to hot, I'd almost call it only slightly warm.  Now obviously in a shelf that will change, and worse in a cabinet, but I was thinking it would be warmer than it was during that demo even though it was out in the open
