Selling off Tubes for Solid State, A Cooler Love Story?

@mulveling is the heat output that insufficient from Class A to say Class A/B? I'd imagine the fins on solid state amps tend to hold on to heat rather than dissipating it up into the air/surface. I use a portable air conditioner in the room in the summer, but these things are loud as all hell so I imagined a slower heat rafitijg amp for summer would help alleviate heat and cold fighting for space in the summer months. 

@tablejockey I love my Primaluna amps, I'm more curious to try something new and have been looking at more Allnic gear after just acquiring their H-5200 Phono. Then I got to thinking about more tubes and more heat which got me thinking of going to try solid state. My room is an upstairs southwest facing, 9x15 box that the sun bakes all day long. House AC doesn't work, and as a renter we've been forced to compromise with portable AC units in every room. 

just my 2 cents

i would say, qualitatively, that if comparing to running my audio research ref 110 tube amp (8x kt120), if we call the heat output from that amp a '10'

a decent powered solid state class a amp - say pass xa25, first watt f5, belles sa30, pair of schiit aegirs would have heat output of say, a '6'

whereas a higher powered class a/b amp like hegel h20 would be a '3'

and then, the agd audion monos would be a '1'

Do yourself a favor and trial a Circle Labs A200 integrated  hybrid. Purity of tone and beautiful tone await you. The design is both unique and smart. Parts count is minimal with short circuit paths.  A special unit.  

The F5 is a great amp,however it does run on the warmer side of the temp scale. 

@jjss49 this is the anecdotal information I've been looking for. I have a very inexperienced interaction with anything but tubes so this is exactly what I was hoping for. So essentially I'd be able to lessen the heating of my room which is what I wanted to assume was true with solid state Class A. Thank you
