@m_j_s thanks! Reason I’m asking is I have a relatively small room and my XA30.8 doesn’t get hot enough to affect it. Worried about having a space heater there as it would suck in summer months…
I've owned both the X250.8 and XA30.8 in my small 12x17 dedicated listening room (extremely well insulated walls, but no AC), and both would send me out of the room in the summer sweating like I had just been in a sauna. I really liked both amps and enjoyed the heat in the cooler months, but in the end sold both for cool running monos. I didn't notice any difference between the two (XvsXA) relative to how hot my room got. AC would solve that problem though...; both are great amps!
