So I bought this NAD S300 and it gets quite warm after a while of playing it. Is it bad for the amp to keep using it for longer periods of time? I was also wondering if I’m leaving enough space for the hot air to escape.(about 5 cm) Let me know!

    The S300 is known for running hot.

    It’s part of the design, and not an issue. In fact, if it isn’t getting warm it could be a sign of an issue.

    The large heatsinks on the sides are there for a reason. Your setup looks fine so long as the glass isn’t being affected by the heat.

      that’s good to know, I think I will look for another piece of furniture for my hifi stuff instead of glass. This amp is heavy!
