zuzu Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 Nad suggests that this 150w/channel amp, NOT be placed on a shelf. A very few in the past have had a melt down so to speak. I only have a shelf to put it on, but it is open on all sides with about 6 inches clearance above it. I am thinking of placing it on isolators which raise the bottom an additioal inch and one half off the shelf. I have 1 or 2 small external fans I could also run but this may be overkill.

CaptnBob Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 Is it a weight thing or a heat thing? McIntosh always had in their manuals to make sure what ever you put their amp on could support the 130 pounds or so. If it's a heat thing, you'll most likely be ok - they may be thinking of bookcase with the shelf right above the amp (or the tendency of some people to put a book on top of the amp instead of reshelving it!) The manual should have something about how much clearance you need both above, below, and around the sides. NADs enjoy an enviable reputation. I think you'll like it.

kaiser SET say Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 Zuzu, that warning was intended for people who stack gear one right on top of the other inside a closed door cabinet for the most part. That NAD SS amp is not going to run to hot to be placed on an open shelf as long as it's got a couple inches around all sides but the bottom you should be fine[] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
