Pro audio amp vs. residential amp


My Sim Audio (Celeste) HT-3 has taken a dump, and I can't really afford to ship it out for repairs. What are the communities thoughts on replacing it with a Pro-audio Crown xls1000 amplifier?

I have an Adcom 555 (Bought used) and 5800 which seem to be in your price range. The 555 seems to carry the audio cred if needed. Had the 5800 for ~18 years with no issues. They both served me well.
