small room... tube amp... summer

for those in relatively small rooms, how do you deal with the heat from your tube amp during summer? can i point a fan at it? any suggestions? it's really heating up my room and there's no AC in here! do i just have to bear with it or are there any practical solutions?

You would probably be better off with that 'lap top cooler' under you instead of the amp !

Butt seriously...about the only answer is to get a small window A/C unit for that room .

Good luck .

I dealt with it by going SS.

I used to pack my tube amps during summer and unpack them when things got colder now I use only SS amp.

This is part of the reason I went with tube preamps and Ice amps.

I had the same issues.Pretty simple, sell the tube amp and go with a nice SS amp.You will also save $$ not having to buy those expensive tubes
