200 wpc bass amplifier suggestions

I am considering Emerald Physics CS2's. They are talking about a 200 wpc bass amp.

Any inexpensive suggestions?

Both stereo (2 or 2A) and mono (400) versions are available used for great prices.

This is why I recommended them. So thanks to Steve for reporting on their match with the Emerald Physics. I've never heard that so wanted to make my suggestion clear.
