Joule - Electra: Just How Hot??


I'm considering Joule Electra mono blocs as a source of amplification. My fundamental question is not about the sonics rather this is a question for those that actually have J-E in their system: How much heat do they throw off and how do you manage--especially in the warm months of the year? Or is the heat issue not really a major problem? My room is 25 X 17 X 13 (LxW xH)with 4 air conditioning vents and 2 heat extraction ducts.

AS a former owner, I'd would strongly advise against it. The amp itself is 9" high. The bottle on one of the output tubes is probably about 6". The amp would probably fit, but the tubes get VERY HOT and I would think it would be real fire hazard to say nothing of the reflected heat would do to the amp and the conducted heat to anything on the shelf above.
Gwng8,

Take a look here for VZN 100 pictures in my room.

I'm not sure I have ever seen them used and positioned other than what Joneill has done - and shorter speaker wire to boot:)
Ok I see now. I had seen they were 9" high, I thought that was tubes and all. The bases underneath, are those part of the system, or extra?
