Just got my D200 back up and running with some new speakers (PMC 20.26) at last.
After a decent listening session (2 hours +) the temperature in the 'A' amp is hitting 63/64C and the other two 59C. The amp is almost too hot to touch.
The unit is almost a year old, although for various reasons wasn't used a great deal in this time.
It sounds fine, no issues there, but this seems very hot to me. The speakers aren't that hard to drive. All s/w up to date (7.1.1 and SAM enabled)
Any thoughts on this?
What volume setting were you using? I seem to remember the PMCs seemed to need a lot of power when I heard them at OAC.
My 800s get that hot if I use pass through, so I don't...
Passthrough default seems to be -15dB, though I can't remember whether I used the default in the no-longer-used config I did about a year ago, it may have been more.
