Amp for stereo subs

My open baffle speakers have 2, 12" subs on each side, powered by your basic chinese plate amps. They are not mounted on the baffle due to lack of room. I have each one in a separate wooden box a friend built. In an effort to cut back on the equipment clutter and outlet demand, I'm thinking of going to a stereo amp. Looking for recommendations for a modestly priced ss amp in the 100-250 wpc range for that use. I have an outboard crossover to use (oops, there goes the outlet I just got back!) so I really just need the power. No prejudice against Class D if that's what makes sense.

rl-the crown is working out just fine.  I don't usually push my system too hard and the music I mostly listen to is not very bass heavy, but I've never heard the fan kick on, either.  The only complaint I have is if I forget to turn if off at the unit, and instead shut it down by powerig down the switched outlet it's plugged in to, when I flip that back down  I get a massive thump.  But that/s my faultso no biggie.  If I power up and down correctly, no noise at all.

George- thanks for thinking of me.  I wasn't planning on spending that much anyways.

Mesch- I'm using an NHT X-1 active crossover ahead of the Crown so no need to try the LP filter in the Crown.
