I am curently limited to a very small listening room (10' x 12.5'), and have a few comments to add:
1- all electronics get hot and will heat the room. Bif power tubes are worse but if you leave your SS gear on all of the time the net effect is the same. I just replaced my CJ Premier 11A w/ an Audio Note Oto. Much less heat from smaller tubes.
2- As 4est mentioned, a ceiling fan is of limited help. After a while you are basically roasting in a convection oven. You need to exchange the hot air for cooler air somehow.
3- Do not underestimate the amount of heat that you and the lights will generate. I have switched all of the bulbs in my room to compact fluorescents - I hate 'em but they make a big difference. Needless to say, you will appreciate a dedicated AC line if you do this.
