Do Simaudio integrated amps run hot?


Considering a Simaudio integrated amp. It will be located in a shelving unit, which will be open to the front and back. Simaudio has class A capabilities, so if you have one, do they run hot?

I've owned Simaudio I-5 LE and Simaudio ACE integrateds, don't know if they are similar to the one you're considering, but neither of them created any appreciable heat. Slightly warm on the top, as I would have expected.

I have a 600i. It's in a near field system and I don't crank it, but it runs cool. First ten watts are class A if memory serves.
