Quieter Amp Replacement for Crown XTi 6002 ?

Hello everyone, I’m currently running a Crown XTi 6002 to drive a 15" woofer in a 2-way speaker. It works okay, but the fan is quite loud to be using in the same room. Any suggestions on an alternative that is quieter, but still has enough power to drive the woofer properly?  Ideally, would like to stay under $2000 budget.

The woofer spec: 8 ohms, AES Power handling 1400W, Maximum Power Handling 2800W, 40-2000 Hz

Thanks in advance for any help!

Perreaux 2150B - 340/680/920wpc @8/4/2 ohms. Can usually be found on eBay for around $900. Excellent amp! I have one. No need to spend a lot!

Are your speakers Altec A7 VOTT’s? Those have a 15 inch woofer crossed over at 800 hz to an 811 horn. They are over 95 db sensitivity and can be driven by a 10  watt amp.
