measured the Ayre Acoustics VX-8 with my Audio Precision SYS2722 system. Before performing the measurements, I preconditioned the VX-8 following the CEA’s recommendation, operating it at one-eighth the specified power into 8 ohms for 30 minutes. At the end of that time, the top panel was hot, with a temperature of 113.4°F (45.3°C). Unusually, the bottom panel was even hotter, at 144.5°F (63.1°C). To reduce the possibility of overheating, I continued the testing with the amplifier raised off the test bench with inverted ceramic cones.
