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.

How hot do the X600's get? I would hope not as hot as a tube amps get. I have been considering a pair(used) to drive my Thiels and heat is an issue for me. Do you know if the X350 gets hot as well? I have no direect experience with Mcintosh but a fellow member who just bought the 501's say they run warm to the touch after being driven pretty hard.
