Amps and Kimber 12tc. Big amps and room temperature.


Does the unusual characteristics of inductance or capacitance make your amp run warmer or is this a fallacy? My Bryston 14b3 warms up the 20x12x8 room pretty good. I have a portable AC hooked up and an extra mains AC ductwork put in to the room. I also have a small cooling fan behind It. It will run the temp in the room to a good 74 degrees playing at good volumes in the summer without the portable noisy AC unit running. I tried regular 12 gauge roll wire and made just a little difference. I know its a big amp. Thanks for all responses.

I interpret his comments as the temp rise in the room decreased 'a little' when the 12tc was replaced with 12 gauge roll wire.
Yes maybe a little cooler with the 12 gauge vs the 12tc. I think 12tc is about 8 or 9 gauge total size.
All you have to do is look at the power dissipation. Get a cheap device like this one:

It’s all about how many AC watts you are putting into the room. 100% of that becomes heat. Best analog to this is to think of incandescent bulbs.  Remember how hot a 60 Watt bulb would get?
