How Hot running?
« on: 10 Oct 2016, 02:46 am »
Probably been asked before but…
I would like to ask about how hot running the AVA solid state power amps run?
Specifically how hot do the Synergy 240 amps run?
Very hot?
Hot?
Cool?
Cold?
Appreciate any comments.
Thanks.

Hope that helps.
Thinking of the double die version actually.
Thanks

Hello, Bruce.

I've got a Synergy 240/3 that has been used to drive PSB Synchrony 2, Paradigm Studio 20, Proac Response D2, Meniscus Adelphos, Harbeth 30.1, and GR Research OB design speakers, but no Electrostats. I have never felt my amp ran hot. Warm? Certainly, but never hot.

If I had Maggies or other electrostats and wanted to power them with an AVA SS amp, I'd want Frank's Synergy 450.

Just my opinion. YMMV.
