Okay, I just read the JC2 manual and found the Ventilation Requirements section which is included below:
Because the JC 2 is a high current class A design it is always slightly warm to the touch, even when in standby. To reduce the chance of your JC 2 overheating please follow these guidelines:
Install your JC 2 away from heat sources such as heating ducts, radiators, or heat-producing components.
Always position the JC 2 horizontally.
We recommend that you do not place the JC 2 above a power amplifier.
Do not install the JC 2 in an unventilated equipment cabinet or compartment. Pockets of stagnant hot air can build up even in cabinets with open front and back sides. A ventilation fan such as the Parasound Zbreeze is highly recommended to prevent hot spots in confined spaces.
Okay, it says it runs "slightly" warm. my guess is Maggy44 has his directly above his amps or next to a baseboard heater of some kind. Perhaps he measured it before the cabinet interior had cooled down. Whatever.
