i will check out that technology. i just wanted to fit in. I might build an amp. andi heard heatsinks can run in the hundreds .And they are the reason these amps have to be so large. I curios to know at what temperture these transistors heat up to. my Computer and Mcintosh are like space heaters.
About the fan .I was just curious is it would be possible to use the 12v source that coms from the trigger supply from the reciever .That is normally used to turn components on when reciever is turned on. I dont use the trigger function to turn on my amps. 1 does no have that option,the mc2105.
thanks for entertaining my lesser suggestions.
I need to work on my room dynamics first . before i start another project.
Planar speakers can b very fussy to set up

Have you ever noticed the remarkable similarity of those
two characters (in the BBC TV series) to Eric Idle and
Michael Palin?

[jacco vermeulen]

David Leland must be the Michael Palin lookalike.
In later years, Mr Leland played small parts in a number of productions by Michael Palin or Terry Gilliam, even starred together with Mr Palin in a few.

Today I saw a nice advertising (adverstisement?) in HIFI+ (2009 awards)

It shows a Pic of gorgeous X 250 that takes the whole page.

My old arts teacher Mr. Haarmann looks like Zaphod Beeblebrox in the BBC TV series (rubber head side of course). BTW: Never trust an arts teacher who shares the last name with a serial killer.
