Hello, my Name is Linus im from Germany and i want to upgrade my Homecinema. At the Moment i Use an Beamer from BenQ (W7000), a cheap Motor screen 16/9 250cm wide, for Audio i use an Teufel Cubycon 5.1 an for control a Logitech Harmony remote.
I'd probably look into an active (fan powered) ventilation unit to help keep the receiver cool. In the US there is a brand called AC Infinity, but I don't know what's available in Germany.
I've never used one, though years ago I did have a DC fan set up simply to more air through the cabinet. My power amps are pretty much out in the open. However, I did a complete update to my livingroom system, and even though I don't play it very loud most of the time, and the receiver is in an open stand, there's only about 1 5/8" above it. I noticed that even when I'm just playing casual TV watching volume (with 6 Ohm speakers) it gets really hot in there. So, I'm finally getting an AC Infinity unit for it. It's a fairly new Marantz SR7012, so that's a pretty expensive piece of equipment to be baking like that.I've used AC Infinity to cool my main amp for years. Highly recommended.

It’s installed and programmed. Sometimes it doesn’t take much airflow to solve the problem. I’m not sure it’ll ever go past the slowest speed. Maybe up one speed if I crank it up. I’m going to monitor the temp on my front amp downstairs. I do hammer that system from time to time, especially with music.For me AC Infinity presented an inexpensive solution to a [potentially] expensive problem.
