Hello everyone. I have a couple of questions and would like opinions on the heat generated by some Pass Amplifiers.
I have a dedicated music room measuring 20x26x9 feet.
It is heated by radiant heating and is equipped with a mini split air conditioning unit.
I own a Pass X 350.5 and love all of its characteristics except for one and that is the heat that it generates after a couple of hours of operation. The area around my equipment gets warm and after enough time, usually a couple of hours or so, the room itself starts to get warmer. After about two hours or so, I cannot really keep my hand on the amp chassis for more than 15 seconds or so.
I would like to purchase a pair of Pass Labs X 260.8 mono's in place of my X 350.5 and would like to know how the heat produced by the pair of mono's compares with the heat that is produced by my stereo amp.
I do not want to give up on The Pass sound and am looking for an alternative within the Pass stable.
Thank you all.
