Class D Option For Bass

I just purchased a little crossover from Sublime Acoustics and will be playing with bi-amping in the near future. I will use my tube amp for mids and highs but thinking class d for bass duties. I think I’d like something a bit nicer looking than Crown. I know they are a common go to for lots of cheap class d power. I’m not sure how much some of the newer designs like Purifi and GaN FET will make when playing no higher than 250hz max.  My short list right now is VTV, Wyred 4 Sound, and ?. I know, pretty short list. I’m sure there are a ton more options but I haven’t really kept up with class d since falling for tube amps.  Looking forward to everyone’s thoughts, thanks!

Here are a couple options — “only” 200Wpc but put out considerably more into 4 Ohms so hard to imagine it’s not enough.  Best of luck.

PS Audio, Classe, Peachtree, and Bel Canto are all good suggestions. I will add the to the list.  Was hoping there were some good options around $500 but it seems most are close to $1000. It may come down what I find a really good price on.

That Rotel is nice and from my experience Rotel does bass very well for the price.  If I had the funds now I may try to make a deal but this is a month or two out for me still.

Buckeye Amps could be a good option to consider along with the others.
