The DX-2 that I have used for the last 12 months has no cooling problems. 
The centrifugal blower is a big mother. Not too noisy either. It has seen a 
few contests now and it has performed faultlessly the whole time I've had it.

The amp itself is an example of the finest workmanship, design and 
engineering you are ever likely to see. The chassis does not bend when it 
is lifted without the cover in place. It is very solid. It is interesting 
to note the use of Nichrome in the suppression of parasitics in this 
amplifier. There is definitely something in what Rich has been saying all 
these years.

Happy Emtron DX-2 owner.

ps: The DX-3 is now in production but not shown on the website yet. It uses 
a 3KW dissipation tetrode.
