Large diameter fans can be tolerable at low speed. At least judging by a Peavey PV8.5C that I used to power home subs for a while. Low speed was nearly inaudible, and it only kicked into high with extended loud bass or in very hot weather. Still, I'd hesitate to recommend it when there are worthy fanless amps with comparable power output. I haven't tried any 2U amps at home, but I'd suspect those fans will be more obnoxious.
