I totally agree. I'm simply saying that if you start at a higher temp, the amp will reach thermal stasis quicker, which was the question posed by the OP.
@b_limo
Agree also, starting an ice-cold engine is the worst thing you can do to it.
But, it's hard to ignore that on a hot summer day the internal components
reach there proper thermal properties (read: tolerances) quicker.
BTW, ARC breaks in all of their equipment. And back in the day they used a "hot room" to do it, can't speak to if they take the same approach today.
I simply know my ARC amps (all four of them) like to be turned on for at least 30 minutes and then play moderately (softly) for another thirty and then it's off to the races as far as I'm concerned.
