Ditching Class A Amps due to Heat - Sort of a Poll

@ghasley do not get those batteries wet in your car. Also, I have a fried with solar in his home and he is still battling noisy power in his system when on battery power?? 

I never have to worry about losing power due to being on the same grid as H2O plant and emergency service in my town.  Infrastructure in America is weak at best especially the power grids. Texas and CA are the worst! 

Wots damatta? Is everyone around here overliteral?

Personally, I abhor wasting energy. Everybody else can "waste" whatever they want to.

@erik_squires I did not find the sound coming out of that M-10 as good! That was the unit I sold. 

I love my Pass class A amps.  Yeah they're hot, but the sound is magic to my ears.

I used to keep them on all the time.  Nowadays, I turn them on about an hour before listening sessions, saves on my electric bill and heat generation.

@jwei +1 that’s pretty much the routine. I also keep my basement at 63 degrees so I don’t heat it in the winter unnecessarily and whatever the heat generated by the Pass XA30.8 amp doesn’t bring the temperature up that much. 
In the summer the basement is cool so it’s rarely a problem.

I have the Pass XA60.8 mono blocks on my list of amps to try.
