Default Overheating of Onkyo TX-SR 606

I recently installed a TXSR706 and over 2 hrs that got quite hot even though
not being driven for most of that time..
Whilst this may be a design issue on the family of models, it will
eventually lead to problems in a few years, drying up many capacitors with
the heat soak. *Maybe put extra feet underneath, and consider the fan idea
for some forced cooling.


I'm thinking that a good class ab is going to bias for some double
digit percentage of it's rated power. That can be a lot of watts at
idle for some of them. Plus the higher idle biasing also means it is
operating in class a mode for longer as well, right?
