(my unstacked master is still 2 deg cooler than the slave). Although for me, I have got near enough to that 65 degree figure to be happy to keep the two on separate shelves!
Personally I think they sound much better on separate shelves but I'm willing to accept that this is probably as much psychological as anything else.
It doesn't wholly surprise me that the new slave is running hotter; I found that my units ran much warmer when they were new.
