I have a pair of Plinius Model 9 custom's (NZ amp, very good value for money 
here) which used to run very hot till I lifted them of the grounf to get
some air circulation around them (placed each of them on top of a couple a 
wine bottles) and the tempurature dropped considerably. They are now stable
at a reasonably cool temperature, irrespective of how hard they are run.

I stole the idea, but it works, even in summer.
