RX-V1800 and heat issues

[3db]

I have my 1800 stored inside an a/v cabinet. It has next to no clearance on the sides but about a good 5+ inches from the top. The rcvr is so deep that it pushed off the back panel so essentially its open there as well. I've run a few movies through it, listened to a few CDs and LPs and its remaining alot cooler than my older Technics. I do leave the cabinet door open a bit when I run it.

For those who said it runs warm/hot, how loud are you listening to the music/movie and what kind of speakers are you driving?

I have mine in my audio rack, and it is open on the sides and front, but the back and top have very little clearance. I'm not using any of it's internal amps to drive any speakers, but it still gets pretty warm, and my old RX-V1600 got pretty warm to when I was using it's internal amps. When I had my RX-V1600's internal fan set to auto it never came on, so I just set it to run all the time, but the 1800 doesn't have a fan. Unless it's getting super hot, I wouldn't worry about it, I'm sure it doesn't get quite as hot as some Onkyo models.

Neither my 659 or 3800 ever got more than just barely warm. My Denon gets a tad hotter than either one of my Yammies.

My EMO always feels cold.

My EP2500 has never been plugged in.
