Received My Basx-A150 last week and all seems to be working fine however, I noticed that there is no heat dissipating from the box, completely cold. Is this normal? Never had an amp or receiver that wasn't at least warm to the touch. Great if this is the norm but shouldn't there be some heat from a class AB amp?

I have an Emotiva XPA-1 gen 2 and in class A mode it gets too hot to even touch. But the basx models don't generate much heat.

Both of my Emotiva amps (A-5175, XPA-6 Gen 3) run extremely cool. I ran both of them for hours (breaking in speakers) at pretty moderate volumes and they were barely warm to the touch. The Denon sitting right next to them was only used as a preamp and it was hot. Super hot. I'm going to put an Infinity fan on it when I get everything permanently situated.

Yeah my Marantz SR7009 was also only used as a pre-amp and it was insanely hot. The AV8802A was warm, but not nearly as hot as the SR7009. My RMC-1 is cold. Actually my DR-2, RMC-1, and the XPA-9 G3 generate very little heat.
