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!

The Parasound A23+ should be on your list. High current, Class A/AB, 150wpc/8 ohms. Available new <$2k, used much less.

Hi, thanks for all your replies.  I noticed some of the amp suggestions are rated much less than what the driver specs are (8 ohms, AES Power handling 1400W, Maximum Power Handling 2800W).  How would that affect performance?

What SPL is a regular jam session.

Want a crown Bargain amp get 2-comtech 1600 bridge them, you can run in parallel mono for double the current of the amp

Fans run slow at low levels,
