Ayre amps - cool running?


Can anybody with experience with Ayre amplification tell me how hot or cool they run? I've had a big Krell, which was very warm when on but no music, and downright hot when actively being used, and I've had big Simaudio monos which were cool when on but no music, and only slightly warm under most conditions.

I know the MXRs are only slightly warm when playing Watt Puppy 8s at high volume.

I had an Ayre V3 which ran hotter than any amp I've had - even at idle. I even called Ayre to ask if this was normal - their reply was "hot is good".
I have a V-1xe and it is cool in standby and runs warm but not hot while in use. I used to have Levinson which ran very warm at idle, and hot during use.
I had a V-1XE, ran very warm to hot. Around the same as the JC-1s, and the FPB 650Ms I have now. Beautiful, musical, amp.(V-1XE)
I had a V5/6 amp and it remained cool during idle and warm after driving it hard for 12 hours into Rockports...now have MX-Rs into Rockports and Ariel center...seems slightly cooler...no heat problems at all...but I do make sure air circulation is good...
