Thanks Antoine! I'm completely flummoxed! I mean I can see where maybe Devialet embellished their 600W 'continuous' rating tho I'm unsure what benefit or 'good' might come from it. Compounded by the fact that internal temps which while perhaps not linear are at least closely tied to power consumption and Devialet having no way to shed internal heat other than thermal convective dissipation. Just a guess on my part that at current operating temperatures of ~45C at normal listening levels would likely closely parallel near a 20% thermal increase with an accompanying 20% watt increase. Yet I'm totally unable to reconcile Devialet's claim that the unit itself can run a 'continual' 2,000%+ increase over your observed readings while simultaneously remaining within their touted "its perfectly ok to run temps of up to 60-65C." Either I or we are severely misunderstanding something or someone's severely misleading us.
And while admittedly this question may seem a little like a dog chasing a car... I mean what do I do with it if I catch it!?! I'd still really like to have a clearer understanding, the truth or both.
