As an Electrical Engineer I find it difficult to advise you to leave that system on 24/7.
The unit runs so hot that you will not get a long lifetime out of the capacitors in that amp.
In other words, the capacitors will probably die in a few years, so you will either need to get the amp repaired or pitch it in the trash. It will be intersting to see what we all think of our Matrix M Stages in 5 years! Mine is the sealed version but the heat will not dissipate that easily out of a bunch of little vents.
The source of heat is way too close to some of those power supply caps. Just my opinion......................who knows? Maybe it's supposed to sound great for a few years then fail?
I've never heard the sound of it after 8 hours, I never leave it on that long.
I gotta try it once, but I won't make a habit of it.
