Do you have the Krell slid back under there while using it,, and just pulled it out for the picture? Im wondering about heat dissipation and if thats a problem with it tucked in there.

Nope it stays out of the rack right where it’s at all the time, it wouldn’t fit in the rack anyways it’s too tall that space is blocked off with acoustic foam and the speaker, power, and interconnects are fed thru the foam to the amp.And yes these amps need to breath, but I will say this, it does put out heat but nowhere near what I thought it would, all the things I’ve read about them heating up a room well not this one and that’s a very pleasant surprise.

Here’s a current pic of the components now with the Behringer KM750 and Crown XLi800 amps in the lower left. These amps power the woofers on the Odysseys which are now actively crossed over. They are no longer part of the passive crossover.
