John,

They cited 20.2.1 -

"Requirement: All circuits where the available power exceeds 15 W, and 
their associated components, shall be contained in a fire enclosure."

"Observation: The enclosure construction has openings under the power 
supply and amplifier circuitry. Such construction is not considered a 
suitable fire enclosure. In order to comply with UL 60065, these bottom 
openings must be removed."

I just realized I was excerpting the UL version of the standard and 
their test report says it was done to EN 60065. I don't think it makes 
much difference though.
