Default Need suggestion on cooling system

I have this fully loaded rack that will be housing GS150 and Ref. 6 to replace the Mac system.

Would also be adding a phono amp.

Will have about 5 inches clearance on top of GS150 and Ref. 6.

Will run fans on GS at full speed. How ever the pre will need some cooling.

Any suggestions, photos, make of the system?

Any of your electronics have a USB power? If so, you could use a USB/Fan to circulate air through the rack, pushing or sucking out the hot air.



Low power and low noise.

You have a v nice system. With a $70k investment, it is, imo, time for a quality audio rack designed for vibration control and enough clearance to let your equipment breath. Your gear will last longer and your music will sound better.

Put amp on amp stand between speakers. Get a more open audio rack and move to the side. Not only components run cooler, SQ will improve without rack in between speakers.
