FWIW, our main system uses all "pro" amps - Crown DCI Network. They have the usual downside - fan noise - but they're in a different room so that's fine. They’re definitely not as whisper quiet as the ATI AT4007 we used in the old house. That’s probably the best 200W/8 Ohm amp in the world in terms of noise floor. But with the gains set properly DCI Network is not far off from BSS BLU-50 + ATI AT4007. And DCI8|600n is about 1/4 the weight for more than double the power into 8 Ohms (plus an extra channel), which matters when you have to carry them down into a basement.
We also use a Crown pro amp - XLS2502 - to drive two subs in another system. It’s in the same room and I’ve yet to hear the fan.
I don’t have experience with other brands.
