recommendations for amplifiers that don't emit tons of heat

I tried a Krell ksa 150 and while I liked the sound, it was like having a space heater in the room. I now have an Audio research vt100. It sounds fantastic, but it makes the room hot as well. Not as bad as the Krell, but it's still a drag in the summer.

I'm guessing I should just suck it up, but I'm curious what cooler running options there are that sound as good (or better)... suggestions?

I have YBA amps (signature mono locks and 2 delta). They are barely warm including their heat sinks/fins after playing 6-8 hours. They are very rare to find (French made). I don't know much about the chinese version if they run cool. By the way, I live in Phoenix and don't want any thing that gets hot!
