I have a Crowson stereo amp with an LPF that is designed for their shakers/tactile transducers but they aren't that cheap either. $700 for the Gallo unit IMHO isn't too expensive for something designed specifically for it.
The other option I can think of is the Earthquake shaker amp (about 400 bucks?)
