Tenor 75 Wi OTL

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....

A customer of mine has this amp:

He can run them all day in his room and not be any hotter, even though his home is not air conditioned and he lives in Guatemala!

He accomplished this by putting the amps in a specific location in the room, above which are hidden ducts that have a moderately-powered fan at the other end. The heat goes up through the ceiling and out of the house. It is an elegant and simple approach. You can sit in the room all day and be perfectly comfortable.

Sorry, I should have been more specific...I was referring to running 6 to 12 6C33C-B's per amp. That tube seems to run much hotter than anything I've ever been near. Maybe that is more of a perception than reality, though.
