Re: How not to treat your av kit
Can't see anything wrong with that AS but then again I don't know what any of the boxes are
 Maybe could do with a bit more air around them if they have vents on the top like my TM1000

Re: How not to treat your av kit
The receivers/ boxes are tightly packed & stacked on top of each other in a glass fronted av cabinet. Unless there is force fed air flow through the cabinet its a sure fire way of cooking your kit.

Re: How not to treat your av kit
My audio stack is similar, and in a glass fronted case - but it has a large hole in the back panel at the bottom (the same size as my huge Sony amp), and a silent 80mm fan in the top corner to exhaust the heat build-up.

Re: How not to treat your av kit
Give the man a (Christmas) cigar
If your av stack is so confined behind glass doors you really need to think about venting the heat build up - the waste heat from the lower boxes will be drawn straight into the boxes higher in the stack which will cook them and shorten their lifespan... Ideally you also want an inch gap between each item of equipment.

Re: How not to treat your av kit
They look like external hard drive caddies to me. I doubt they are vents.
