Seeking hot running amps

Which poweramps run hot? I am looking for a hot running amp to warm my room in the winter. I have heard of Krell, pass, threshold.

Just get a space heater or turn on 4 100 watt bulbs! Bob P.

The smallest electrical space heater gives off more than that. It is silly to buy an amp for its "appartment heating" capacity. Bob P.
