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 can strong recommend two amps. The B.M.C. M2 monoblocks have fans but very  quiet ones. In balanced XLR and the Koda K-10, they are great!

The other is the H-Cat X-11 amp with automatic focus. It has heat sinks on back. I live in Texas and have had neither of these amps heat up my room.
