TL5 Gunslinger Registered: 03/25/15 Posts: 30	I'm thinking about adding a 7500 to my system (or 2-3 M2200's) once Outlaw comes out with their new pre/pro. I have a B&K Ref. 200.7 that is great but gets HOT. I'm thinking of getting the 7500 and using it for my 5 main channels, and running the 4 height channels off the B&K. My question is: how cool does it run for most of you? My speakers are PSB Synchrony's, which are fairly efficient but do drop down to 4 ohms at certain frequencies. Thanks for any responses!

I run my Maggies with it and they start at 4 ohms. _________________________ Music system Model 990/7500/Magnepan 1.6 QRs/Technics SL1200 MK2/Aperion S-12 Subwoofer/OWA3/Sony NS75H DVD APC H15 Power Conditioner TV System Large Advent Loudspeakers/ Polk center/Monoprice surrounds/Panasonic Viera 42 inch/Onkyo HT-RC260/Sony BDP S590/Directv Home Theater System Onkyo PR-SC886/Outlaw 7125 Klipsch RF-82 L/R,RC-62 center, RB-35 SR/SL, BENQ HT1075, Outlaw LFM1-EX/OPPO BDP-83/Directv Harmony ONE Blue Jeans and Monoprice interconnects APC H15 Power Conditioner

XenonMan Desperado Registered: 04/08/08 Posts: 2676 Loc: Columbus,North Carolina	Mine runs very cool even at high volumes. Recognize that since most amps use heat sinks for cooling they need to get warm to transfer that heat. Try using a small quiet fan to blow air to help cooling. _________________________ Music system Model 990/7500/Magnepan 1.6 QRs/Technics SL1200 MK2/Aperion S-12 Subwoofer/OWA3/Sony NS75H DVD APC H15 Power Conditioner TV System Large Advent Loudspeakers/ Polk center/Monoprice surrounds/Panasonic Viera 42 inch/Onkyo HT-RC260/Sony BDP S590/Directv Home Theater System Onkyo PR-SC886/Outlaw 7125 Klipsch RF-82 L/R,RC-62 center, RB-35 SR/SL, BENQ HT1075, Outlaw LFM1-EX/OPPO BDP-83/Directv Harmony ONE Blue Jeans and Monoprice interconnects APC H15 Power Conditioner

nortynorty Gunslinger Registered: 01/07/07 Posts: 48 Loc: Philadelphia, PA	I have my 7500 in a standout designs cabinet with cooling fans. They rarely go on, even to the point where I had to check to see if the "thermocoupler" was working. Compare that to the other side of the unit which houses my cable box and the fans are on most of the time. I'd say you have nothing to worry about.
