NVA purchase

Unread post by scotty38 »

All,

I'm giving some thought to buying P50sa/P90sa along with maybe A70s. My question is around the amps and the space they'll need. I have a solid oak rack (open front and rear) and each of the amps would have their own full width shelf but it's only 180mm high.

Will that be enough room or will I suffer with overheating?

Many thanks in advance.....

Unless you're a head-banger thrashing speakers flat out all day, I don't think heat is ever an issue with NVA and the ones I've had here have NEVER got remotely as hot as the Krell 50S did when it was pushed a bit (intermediate bias lamps illuminated). If pushed hard for lengthy periods, the amps I've had here get warm underneath (in the smaller amps), but never ever uncomfortably hot in my experience.

In 30+ years of NVA ownership I've only once got an amp noticeably warm by running it hard with totally unsuitable (Monster) speaker cables.

A bit of ventilation room is always a good idea, though.
