Run small computer type muffin fans, Doesn't your ARC have fans in the bottom blowing upwards? ad a couple fans blowing across the top say to the rear.
I use surplus 220 volt impedance prtected fans whihc will run a half speed when plugeged in to 120 V

Wouldn't a fan only move the heat out of the amp and into the room more efficiently? I don't think that would solve the problem of heat in the room.
Yes but it dissipates the heat better instrad on concentrating it in one spot. If no AC you can direct it out the windows or even simply out the doorway.
I have actually tried a couple of additional fans and like Abe stated, it simply moved the heat more efficiently into the room. Not the answer unfortunately. I like the M100's a lot, they sound great to my ears...as do all of the D series amps; but I cannot take the heat anymore. Plus living in LA means many hotter days. So, I'm looking for something with the same sonic signature as the ARC's but with a lot less heat.
