Looking through the current products, it seems like Denon, Marantz, Pioneer, Onkyo, Integra, Sony etc receivers all seem to have cooling fans on their mid to high end models? Is Yamaha the only company left that has a fanless design (i.e. the A6A and A8A?). Unfortunately I can't get over the Cyclops aesthetics of the current Aventage line though, hoping for alternatives for a HDMI 2.1 40gbps generation receiver.
If everyone else is using fans, has anyone tried replacing the existing fans on any units with quieter Noctua fans? I noticed a lot of complaints about fan noise on current higher end Denon/Pioneer/Onkyo receivers.
