Tenor 75 Wi OTL

Ralph out of curiosity, why is this amp putting out so much heat, 720 watts per monoblock? This seems quite high based on the number of output tubes at least compared to the Joule which uses this tube as well.

I suspect that it is biased a littler harder than the Joule if that's the case. We've yet to work on a Joule although we have serviced Tenors in the past.

A bit off topic, but can anyone imagine the heat put off by the Joule VZN-300 Destiny monoblocks w/ sixteen 6C33C-B's a channel?

Either your room would have to be cavernous, nonstop AC running, or you place the monos in your fireplace with a fan in the chimney to draw the heat out.

Yes my wife wants them in the fireplace but it to small for both amps.

A couple of days ago I was running the fan to draw the heat up the fireplace and I began to sweat from the heat of the amps in the room. The fan had fallen off the prop I rigged up for it and it was blowing in the wrong direction. Setting it back up restored order to the listening room so I do believe it works as I thought.

Hurry up Fall.

I had a stereo 6C33C-B SET integrated, Almarro A318B, and that thing was hot. 6-12 tubes must be like a furnace running.

But, I bet the sound is glorious. Oh, the things we endure for this hobby....
