This is a side note to the Class D and cool running amps.
One of the major benefits of running cool or cooler is that the components stay intact longer. A major benefactor of this cooler running amp it the Electrolytic Capacitor that is very common in power amps. The electrolytic capacitor offers higher density, higher voltage and higher capacitance for the size and price. A large number of capacitors and large capacitance is used for the power regulation, even if most of the regulation is done by semiconductors.
The drying out would typically run about 20 % less after 10 years. Heat accelerates the drying out of these capacitors reducing the performance faster. One hopes electronics will last a few decades. Cooler running equipment have a better chance of this occurring.
Of course, first and foremost are sonics. And it will have to start off very good to have this as a consideration.
