So every XR 886 overheats?


Not to the extent of tripping any of the thermal switches but enough to
concern the owner into trying to improve airflow - admirable thinking for a
non-techie.
Just giving greater clearance to the airflow under an amp should not
normally affect the amp temperature though. I would suggest that it is due
to forcing the air to follow a tortuous path so a generic design flaw. I've
heated up the fan motor, etc and there seems nothing wrong with this fan as
well as no change of fan noise reported by the owner.
