dear travis
thank you for the important consideration concerning the prodigious heat generated by the 152 tubes contained within eight atma - sphere ma - 1 mark 3 . 1 monoblocs . each amp has a 500 watt power consumption which would generate a total system power consumption of 4000 watts . each chassis employs the use of 14 6as7s and 5 6sn7s - nineteen valves apiece . therefore it would be advisable to position a dedicated air conditioning vent with overhead fans directly above the nine foot florentine antique granite table where the atma - sphere amps will reside . plenty of constant cold fresh air blowing continuously on the amplifiers should not only maintain normal temperatures throughout the rest of the room but also extend the life of the tubes themselves . the topless architecture of the ma - 1 monoblocs are a benefit because they can be cooled down with specially concentrated air conditining .
