Quick Question

I recently got a Mesa Titan V12, and this sucker runs HOT. After a couple hours of rehearsal, every outside surface of the amp is warm to hot to the touch. When I rack it, the sides of the rack are really hot after a couple hours.

Has anyone else had this problem? Is it even a problem? I mean, the amp still runs and sounds great... I guess it just doesn't seen like it should produce that much heat.

I've never had this problem, what Impedance are you running?
