Wishfish:
The Pesante Disipante enclosures come with heatsinks. You'd need to size the chassis (e.g., 3U, 4U, 5U) to the amount of heat the KSA50s generate, but HiFi2000's website provides a heat dissipation guide. Before buying from Par-Metal, you might want to explore your options. If nothing else, a nicer enclosure may support a higher resale value downstream.
By the way, have you considered a Pass Labs amp instead? I have nothing against the KSA50, but for about the same investment you could build a Pass Aleph 60, an F5 or an Aleph J (or J-X), which are all of a more recent vintage and very highly prized. Circuit boards are frequently available on the Pass thread at diyaudio.com, and are sold with Nelson Pass' consent.

Scott
