Hi , i will place nad m33 into the mac book place/ so i will remove mac book from there and it will be whole place reserved for nad m33,
my only concern is the over heat, do you think that place is enougt or nad m33 will over heat i am with very limited space so please advice well.
on my 2nd picture i place my home theater jvc but i have not removed the mac book so you can receive better understanding how it fits there.

I dont want to overheat m33 not sure if warranty will honour it etc... and i must ship to other country and its quite expensive since repairs are not in my country.
i am no bot but dont came up with these excuses again i still have not decided with what to replace my kef r3.

Other option is to place nad where my previously jvc was but in that case this will remove a lot my speakers space...
because other option is JVC to be extremely close to the speakers i am talking about 5 cm away or less...

From the users manual:

10. Ventilation - Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for
ventilation to ensure reliable operation of the product and to protect it
from overheating. These openings must not be blocked or covered. The
openings should never be blocked by placing the product on a bed,
sofa, rug, or other similar surface. This product should not be placed in a
built-in installation such as a bookcase or rack unless proper ventilation
is provided or the manufacturer's instructions have been adhered to.

You can submit questions directly to the manufacturer here:

do you think that place is enougt
It would help if you provide the dimensions of that shelf/drawers.

NAD M33 is;

435 x 133 x 396 mm (17 1/8 x 5 1/4 x 15 5/8”)

Seems there is enough space at the top, so probably fine... there doesn't appear to be side vents.

There is enough place to fit the nad m33.
but i dont think it will be enough for the cooling needs of the amp since its extremely close. how much heat this unit provides.

How much clearance at the top? 5cm or so should be fine... it runs a Purifi Class D module.

Around 5cm clearance i know its purifi class d but still needs to have some heat - ventilation room.

That will be fine IMO... I've not seen any reports of M33's running hot, in fact the opposite. I recall reading a review comment elsewhere about 400W output without getting hot.

Ah, here is a user comment from ASR;
I don't think so. Even watching movies like DUNE with loudness set at about -15dB, the M33 did not heat up beyond the temperature of my hands.

Why do you ask me when I just pointed out the manufacturer's instructions which make a statement about adhering to the manufacturer's instructions, and I also gave you a link that the manufacturer provides for asking such questions?

The manufacturer is who you will dealing with on any warranty issue that may arise from circumstances involving the product usage, not me.

Hard to tell. Where have you put the NAD exactly? I only see a laptop and something JVC in the pictures.

But you'll ask a bunch of guys that definitely have zero experience with that amp in that space? Sounds like a plan... I'd assume the manual lists minimum clearance around the amp. If it doesn't sounds like the 6000 amp is lacking in the documentation department...

I just briefly looked at a PDF and couldn’t find it. A whole page on how to change the batteries in the remote though. They sure don’t make manuals like they used to.
