Agree about the heat. My Denon AVR which I only use as a pre-pro (i.e. don't use the amps) is by far the hottest component in my system. It has adequate ventilation. It always feels much hotter than a 60" Pio plasma and 7 channels of outboard amps.

Onkyo sells their better AVRs without the amp sections as pre-pros, pretty much identical for that use. Some of their AVRs get incredibly hot.

Now, heat may be a bad thing as far as longevity. But, and I don't want to go even more OT, but a lot of SS gear sounds better to me the hotter it is...
