new here, need help putting together a system

I'd set it up the way you need it but keep a watch for the first few times you use it. Touch it occasionally while playing and as long as it's not so hot you can't keep your hand there it should be fine. Actually, I've heated some amps up to hot to touch and they were fine but heat, or excessive heat, is not good for electronics.

oh yeah, i know this. i was going to just set it up and test, but i figured you guys here were pretty knowledgeable and i might as well ask first. i wasn't sure if this older equipment used up more or less heat.

EDIT: oh, to double check... is it enough to just test the face for heat, or should i take the top receiver/speakers off and test the top where the vent is?
