I have a Carver Crimson 275. The tubes become warm to touch, but not hot. Same with power supply and output transformers, warm not hot. Sounds great too!
Are there any tube amps that don't give off any---
HEAT!!
I have a very small dedicated listening room, and so I was wondering IF there are any tube amps..I guess hybrid or all tube ( although more all tube)- that simply give off NO heat or very very little heat after full warm up. Since the climate seems to be getting hotter, it would be nice to have the benefits of a tube amp with no heat whatsoever. ( is this even possible?).
Running AC isn't my preferred way of listening in a small room, so this question is now on my mind. I do not want to consider Class D solid state amps...as I know they are an option from a heat perspective...but just tubes.

Benchmark AHB2 class A/B power amp (2x200W@4ohm) runs very cool (SMPS, modulated power supply rails). It was designed to sound neutral/accurate, so perhaps you can use tube pre, if you like warm sound. https://benchmarkmedia.com/products/benchmark-ahb2-power-amplifier?variant=585555021 |
