EProven's comments are very accurate. In this realm there are a plethora of very decent older amps on the used market. The most "alluring" units are the pro-sound units from Crown, but their input impedance is too low IMO. Try to find an amp with an input impedance that matches your primary amp. ... Hey, another thought... those old Hafler's are pretty decent!
The AOS plate amp from Dave Craig appears to be a very good unit. I don't know all the intimacies, but Dave Craig is very successful at building top-notch subwoofers. His plate amp is one of very few with a terroidal power supply and a 24db roll off on the sub. The latter is very advantageous. At $300, the AOS unit is not the cheapest plate amp available, but it might be the highest quality unit available.
Then, if you want to spend less $ I suggest the Apex Sr. amp from
www.soniccraft.com or Apex Jr. I believe this plate amp has some quality built-in.
The P.E. plate amps... who knows??
My 2c.
