Thanks for the laugh!

Touché!

That is pretty funny, in at least a couple of ways:

1) It is only the recent McIntosh team that would dare release a product with such piss-poor heat dissipation capabilities that it would shut off after only 5 minutes of what is admittedly a ridiculously demanding load.

2) At least the Mac had the good graces to detect that it was overheating and shut off without damage. That may or may not be true about the Hypex module amplifier that E-Stat bought. I don't know if he bought a fan because it was running super hot, or because it shut itself off.

3) It's sad to see what was once one of the best engineering companies in all of audio amplifiers be reduced to a pale artificial imitation of what it once was. I guess if it has a black glass front panel and blue meters, then it's good enough to be a McIntosh. Capitalism eating itself once again.
