The SB-301 does run hot and is a power glutton even in idle. Replacing it with Symphonic Line Kraft 250 monos resulted in a $20 monthly reduction in my electric bill - something I did not anticipate but was a pleasant surprise. They barely get warm even when cranked. I do miss the Plinius bass slam (overemphasis even?) a bit although the SL amps do everything else better.
Ivan, did you have your SB-301 down in FL? I can see where that might have been a mismatch climate-wise!
