Kurt,
A year ago I was actually told by Counterpoint that they never had an amp catch fire. Hm!
The ARC amps my father had when i was a kid were D-60's and believe it or not, solid state. They'd been installed in a custom cabinet by the high end audio shop he got them from. I was listening to Neil Young at an ear bleeding level and luckily I happened to walk back in from the yard just in time to see that the whole thing was on fire...right underneath dad's oracle turntable. No idea why this happened (whether there wasn't enough circulation in the cabinet or what) but i think about that fire every time i leave the house with my COUNTERPOINTS on.
I'm hoping someone can provide a reason here why not to worry. Then maybe they can talk to dear ol' dad.
