Mcintosh MC 1201 ? Hot or Cool

I have been on a search for High Powered COOL monoblocks . I would like to know if the MC1201's run hot or Cool. I cuurently have HOT pass x600's which are being sold to a fellow audiogon member. Any MC1201 feedback is appreciated.

I already poseted a thread earlier looking for amps any others that should be consideredin comparison to the 1201's? Remember COOL is the keyword.

Nearly all the McIntosh amps I have experienced were on the cool side compared to the average. The MC7200 is the only one I know that tends to run hot. The Stereophile reviewer for the MC501s remarked on how cool they stayed no matter the volume. I would give them a shot.

I think the Bel Canto switching amps run cool too and have good reviews. Arthur
