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?

The Absolute Sound recommended the Goldmund designed NuForce STA 200 at $1299. It is currently priced for $499 at Audio Advisor, which has a generous trial policy (AA also carries the NuPrime STA 10 and IDA 16). I think that the unusually high gain of the STA 200 makes it helpful to have a home trial, (especially pairing it with the tube based ARC LS27).
