Joule - Electra: Just How Hot??

I'm considering Joule Electra mono blocs as a source of amplification. My fundamental question is not about the sonics rather this is a question for those that actually have J-E in their system: How much heat do they throw off and how do you manage--especially in the warm months of the year? Or is the heat issue not really a major problem? My room is 25 X 17 X 13 (LxW xH)with 4 air conditioning vents and 2 heat extraction ducts.

Ok I see now. I had seen they were 9" high, I thought that was tubes and all. The bases underneath, are those part of the system, or extra?

Mine went rogue and arc'd causing a huge catasrophy that took out a mcintosh grove and a nearby lamm barn. In the end, not even with a good vac or ice amp was I able to get the system back to normal. The smell was so bad that I tried peachtree and even turned to redwine for a while.

Not sure what to do.

The heights of my Musicwood VZN 160 & my non Musicwood VZN 160 are: VZN Musicwood enclosures 8 1/4" H, "regular" VZN enclosure 6 1/4" H. The MW amp with tubes in sockets height is 12"; the non MW amp with tubes in socket height is 10". These may vary some with choice of feet.
