willframe Gunslinger Registered: 02/02/08 Posts: 22 Loc: Raleigh	Is there any problem using the Model 200 resting on its faceplate in a vertical position? I'm doing this now because of space constraints but just want to make sure it's O.K. Seems like it should be... Good ventilation is not a problem.

I suspect there's enough factor of safety in the bracket design to withstand it, but that is a pretty hefty transformer. _________________________ gonk HT Basics \| HDMI FAQ \| Pics \| Remote Files \| Art Show Reviews: Index \| 990 \| speakers \| BDP-93

All of the vents are on the top and bottom, which allow for the natural flow of cooling air, and with the amp resting on its face plate I wonder if you are going to adequate air flow without a fan to help. _________________________ Epson 3500 3D projector 93" Carl's Place Flexiwhite DIY screen Outlaw 976 Pre/Pro Outlaw 7500 for center and surrounds 2- Emotiva XPA-1Ls for LF/RF duty 2- Outlaw LFM-1 EX subs Oppo BDP-105 Blu-ray/DVD/SACD player Outlaw LCR (Snell Labs) for center channel duty Tekton Lore monitors L/R 4- Emotiva ERD-1s surround speakers Monster HTS3600MKII power center
