DB2,
Am I? No. I came back and modified my previous thoughts. Could you? Well yes. However I wouldn't want to take the chance. But.... just for grins I did try it briefly for another pic. I saw some pics on another site with the amp on. That does look cool.

Not sure what the heat would do to the tubes long term with the cover on. Can't imagine it would be good. The cover is 1/4" plexiglass and notched out 1" in and 4" high in the back for the power cord, interconnects and speaker connects. So while some of the heat would dissipate, I wouldn't want to take the chance.

Jim
