Trell's home theatre/living room

[Trell]

I just got my Denon this week. I also put two 120mm fans on top to pull the hot air out to create the pull/push effect inside the unit. I can’t believe how much $20 fans help cool my receiver. One guy said for every 10 degrees we cool the receivers, we increase 70% of the life of the Denons. That’s worth the money I spent in fans in spades.

I bought my Denon AVR-X4200W about 6 years or so ago for my 4 Ohm 5.2 (later 5.2) setup but I bought fans a year or two later. Still works! I don't have any animals that can clog intakes, though, and the ambient temperature is a balmy 20C +-3, except when it's real hot like above 25C

Nice! I live in San Diego the weather is mostly 25c. But in the summer July-Oct it’s 30c. And, I do own a dog. I ‘m cling to look into an actual AC unit to put behind it (it’s in a TV console)

As you see in my thread my living room is huge by European standards Most of our listening is at levels below -30dB as reported by the Denon after calibration, which means lower power usage with the device in "ECO Auto".

My wife would never go for all the treatment in our living room.
