Are you running both sets of speakers at once?

Agree... It ain't good. Need some AV risers to fix that heat problem.

Not running both speakers simultaneously.   Tom are you saying burn up because it has no room to breath?

Yes he is, and if you want those epis to sound good, get them about 10 inches off the ground.

OK I have raised the pre up off of the amp since then, thanks.  Speaker stands heh?  Never thought to try that cuz I though they were floorstanders?  Ill have to give it a try.

I used four round metal "spacers" if you will, and put them right on the ruber feet of the pre. It raised it up about 1.5 inches. that should be good right?
