What amp to drive a pair of Scan-Speak 32W 32W/4878T?

I'm building a pair of Scan-Speak Revelator 13" Subwoofers, - 32W/4878T in 1.5 cubic foot enclosures. The amps will be in a separate room so pro amps with fans are not a concern.

I have a QSC PLD.2 available and don't need all 4 channels so can bridge parallel if I want. I would prefer analog and while you can disable DSP in the QSC, I don't think you can disable A/D on the input. Might not be an issue with subs. I will be using an Anthem STR Preamp for crossovers and room correction and a Bryston 6BSST for my Dynaudio Contour 20 mains. I just want to make sure I use a sub amp that complements the rest of the system.

Thanks.

If crossing very low, I see absolutely no reason to avoid digital amps for subs, rather the opposite, so why not try your QSC? Equally, what would be wrong with plate amps here? I’d get the highest rated Hypex Fusions in your budget. I think the bigger decider for integration with your mains will be down to your cabinet and placement rather than the Revelators or even the amp.

Thanks for the response @motokokusanagiI don't have a problem with class D amps. I'm also using pro amps for my. larger subs and one for my whole house in wall and outdoor speakers.

I just wasn't familiar with the QSC, don't need the dsp and would have preferred to bypass the A/D steps in the amp. I don't think it will be an issues with subwoofers.

Plate amps were never considered. The amps are in a different room and my wife hates seeing more wires/cables.  Plus the first enclosure is built and I'm starting on the second one.

Thanks again.
