Most any Class D amp is relatively small, very power efficient and runs cool. Many good ones out there. I use a Bel Canto c5i in an enclosed audio cabinet and also have other BC 500w/ch power amps. Neither ever gets even slightly warm.
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?
