I am sure some of you know that there are powerful amplifiers out there that are off the audiophile radar because they typically have fans for cooling.
I spotted
this one for example, which I can get for $200 shipped.
The product page for the amp is here:
Crown XLS Series.
Any idea what the sound quality is like compared to, say, an Emotiva XPA-2?
(I want to get Axiom M80s, and the XPA-2 problems have been pointed out to me.)
In my case I can hide the fan noise by putting the amp on the other side of the wall (in the laundry room) and feed the cables through the wall to keep them short.
