I own a Crown XLS 2500 which is cheap and sounds mighty fine and although a pro amp I haven't heard the fan yet. It is stable into 2 ohm loads, 440 wpc into 8 ohm loads, runs cool and low power consumption at idle so you can leave it on all the time, level controls so you can adjust balance if your preamp doesn't have a balance control, 3 year transferable warranty, balanced inputs...what's not to like? (well, it's a bit ugly + you might have a hard time auditioning one before buying since they are sold in pro stores not high end audio stores)I owned it alongside a Bryston 3B-ST for a few months, swapping them both in and out of my system and ended up keeping the Crown and selling the Bryston.
