RE: Try google...speculation has it's limits...

When Stereophile tests an amp, they run it at 1/3rd power for a while BEFORE measurments. They also take a subjective read on how HOT it got. Stuff like 'you can leave your hand on it fine' but I don't think they measure temps.
I don't know how a 'd' amp would take to that treatment.
Look at the spec sheets for D amps. The maximum power for the B&O ASP series is either 60 seconds or 30 seconds. This is also not necessarily bad. Only people listening to Sine Waves would be effected, Unless perhaps you just listen as LOUD as it'll go, until it quits!
Too much is never enough
