I can't even imagine how hot those things must get. I had a pair of Silvaweld OTL reference monos that hand only 4 of those things per channel and it cooked my room to the point where I said "enough!" and I sold them off. Made my room swelter.
Now the new ones are only 4 tubes total and they are getting quite warm, especially compared to my Pset 300B amp, but still under control compared to the NAT I just got rid of. Only the Silvaweld OTLs got hotter than the (hybrid with transistor output but man the heat!) NAT.
