Mine get hottest when I run the fixed input for TV. Thierry tells me that that is effectively a gain of 0bB, i.e. class A amp flat out, is the worst case situation but no problem at all.
With my horns I run -30 to -40 dB gain, with the boxes -25 to -15 dB. I see high 40s with either.
My amps are stacked but the lower unit usually shows the same or slightly lower temps than the top, which is either a reflection on the tolerance of both the temp sensors and the thermal contact to the heat sink or the effect of the DSP thermal mapping.
