Audio Research Ref 3 : heat and top space needed?


Does the ARC REF 3 generate a lot of heat?
Would it fit in a total of 9-inches top-to-bottom
w/o overheating? Thanks.

Yes,2" is pretty close....a fan would be nice as stated by Philojet.Hopefully you have options,good luck,Bob
Thanks to all. Just to mention, the rack is free-standing,
open on all 4 sides, if that makes any difference.
Are those fans noisy? (My computer's is).
Putting a fan on the shelf is not a good idea since it will vibrate and will be noisy. I use a fan that is hooked on the (upper) shelf. This fan is originally made as aquarium cooler and has special clips for hooking a shelf. I have changed the 12V transformer to a multi voltage transformer, switched to 4.5V so the fan is very quiet.
