400W amp under $2000

CarverPro ZR1600. 300 wpc @ 8 ohms, 600 wpc @ 4 ohms.
Less than $1000. (Check the web). Sounds good.

The Hafler Transnova 9505 puts out 750W at 8ohms, in bridged mode, and is fully differential from input to output(unlike a lot of other amps). They are still supported by Rockford Fosgate, that actually built them. Fosgate bought the Hafler name a few years back. They have phenomenal slew rate and damping factors. Here's a link to the manual:(http://www.w1vd.com/9505manual.pdf) I've been using one for years with my woofers. It's given me wonderfully accurate, defined and extended bottom end.

I think a highly underated amp that is rated at 300 watts is the Innersound 300 ESL. I owned one and while I think the Parasound JC-1s sound better, the 300 ESL was very solid. It would be my immediate choice if I needed a less expensive high powered amp. They aren't made anymore and could probably be had for 1000 bucks or so.
