What's too hot? operating temp Bryston amp


Is 195 degrees (measured at the center of the heat sink next to the case) abnormally high for a Bryston 3B ST?

Temperature approximately same on both sides of amp

measured after about three continuous hours of loud listening

I am going to contact Bryston but Id like a more immediate response

Great that you are showing an interest - those output MOSFET's do run very hot so I would not be worried. You may not be aware of this but typically your speakers see that temperature and more inside the VC of the drivers - which is why they make pro drivers with larger and vented voice coils and with tighter tolerances.
