Hope this is the right place.Was wondering between these 2 amps which would be the better option.I'm looking for reliability as well as cool running.I have 4ohm speakers powered with rotel rsx1056 right now.Even though the speakers are supposedly an easy load 90db.I rather be safe.The amp will be going behind double doors with 1 of the doors always open.I also wanted to add any opinions on rotel rb1072 (100x2)thanks

Don't have any experience with the PS Audio unit, but I did used to have an S300i which is the integrated version of the S300.  It ran so cool I could hardly even tell if it was on if I put my hand on it.  It also sounded pretty good too.

I own three of the S-300 amps and they are very good, but for the money I would go for the Trio-A100 with a Level 1 mod from Walter at Underwood HiFi and still spend less than a stock S-300.  That was not an option when I purchased my amps.
