I'm sure for my location (deep south) this simply would not work. It's hot enough in the summer, I don't need to add an oven to my room as well.
I totally agree. This said, some do it anyway …

I would like the X600.8s. But they are Class A for the first 50 watts I believe. Even that would be too hot for me …. The 260.8s are just perfect. This said, I just finished trying some EMM MTRX monos. They are 1000w with our Magico M3s and run cooler than the Pass 260s. Awesome sound!
