“I've heard these run hot. Can someone suggest a good cooling fan? My components are all kept in vertical cabinets. I'm considering the ac infinity aircom t10 with front exhaust. Or is rear exhaust better? Or perhaps another brand or model all together?”

Yes, the Denon units (I have the 4500 and 4700) run warm. The louder you play (more power from the amps) the warmer the unit will get. IMO, warm is not hot. Temp readings that I have taken range at the high end 112 - 120 degrees F. Certainly warm to the touch but not hot. My cable box DVR gets almost as hot. So a well ventilated cabinet with room above the unit should be fine. I would worry about temps if the temp got above 140/145 F, that would be considered hot. most consumer electronic IC's are rated to to 70 degrees C (158 degrees F). Don't forget that the Denon unit also has internal fans that will kick in. As far as which Aircom to go with depends entirely on your cabinet set up. Is you cabinet open in the front or is it open to the back. Depending on your answer should determine which direction Aircom you should get. I will say for my set up, I do not feel the necessity to add additional cooling. Additionally Denon has an eco mode that will help the unit get not as warm. I personally don't use Eco mode. Hope this answer helped.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I am upgrading from a 15 year old Denon which had an AC outlet on the back - I plugged an exterior base/ fan that sat beneath the Denon - the beauty was that it only came on when the Dennon went on - This does not have an AC outlet on it, so how would one turn on a fan when the receiver is On without leaving it on 24/7? Ideas...
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I have the X3700h and it gets super hot. I bought the T10 infinity AIRCOM fan and it's way better.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.T-10 blows air out the front. Do your vertical cabinet spaces have doors on the front? Maybe T-9 is better blows out the top. Another option is ATM cool-slim component fan. I set mine on top of cabinet to avoid this issue
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Mine is in an enclosed cabinet and I have not had a problem with it running hot.
