To Hot to Handle?


I have been contemplating the purchase of a tube amp. However, one of my concerns is the possible heat issues associated with running a tube amp (or mono blocs) with 12+ tubes during the summer in the Northeast. I do not have central air in my apartment.

Would it really be unbearable? I would appreciate comments from anyone with such experiences/solutions. Or, are there any 75+ watt tube amps in the under $2500 new/used category that don't run hot?

Thank you in advance,

If you need 75 tube watts, Berning zh270 is relatively cool running. Relatively being the operative word. I would not want to have it in my house in CT w/o air on those really hot/humid July days. Otherwise, not too bad.
