cooling my Krell monoblocks

I have been considering the purchase of thermalright PC fans rated at 50 CFM/24 DB to set on top of the monoblocks and draw heat out. Is anyone else doing this or have a better idea?

I use Noctua fans - they are Swiss made computer case fans and the quietest around. The other brand would be Scythe, which are also quiet compared to most fans but a little noiser than the Noctua. At $20 a fan, it may be worth it.

I may have need sooner than later. Also, your fan use sounds correct. 'Draw the heat out'. An annual cleaning / dust clog hunt may not be a bad idea, either.

A remedy would be to send in the amps to Krell for installation of heatsink tape. I am trying to find out if this could be a DIY. He neglected to respond to my question about the origin of the word "Krell". I'll keep pushing.!! LOL!
