small room... tube amp... summer

Okay... I have a small-room system set up (14'x 11') in Tucson AZ. It does have an overhead ceiling fan and that works quite well. But I do limit my output tubes to 2 per side of either the EL34 or KT88 variety. No need for more that 50 or so watts/channel tube power in the small room even with my Magnepan SMGa's.

Alternately, a nice combination it to use a Wyred 4 Sound ST-250 amplifier with either a tube line buffer or a good tube preamplifier (that doesn't run hot). Good luck, it can be done, and done well.

overhead ceiling fans works quite well along with nude listening.

Too Much Information:

You know some tube amps run hotter than others.You could have a SS amp for summer,otherwise above posts are good to know.Ceiling fans are real nice.Almost impossible to vent heat out of a room short of running ducts[unlikely].Are there any vents by floor you could position amp by?I personally would try and change out amp for summer though its not inexpensive.You could try long speaker cables.Nothing real solid or creative I'm thinking of,good luck,Bob

Small room, tube amp, summer heat, sold mine.
Like stated above, unless you have a SS for the summer, or know of one you like, then get used to the heat. I had a quad set of EL-34s that just roasted my 2nd story apartment even with the AC on. It had to go.
