Did Behringer change their fans?

I just got a Behringer EP 2000 to power an 15" DIY sub that I am finally getting around to putting together. Holy crap, this thing is a tank! I think it's as heavy as my XPA-5. I just plugged it in to listen to the fan noise and it isn't that bad. It's probably quieter than the fan in my PS 3.

I was planning on doing the fan mod that everyone talks about with the 2500, but now that I listen to it, I don't think I'll need to. In our new house that's being built, I think I will have the new sub at the back of the room. I think I might not even hear it from there.

Did Behringer recently switch to quieter fans?

I hope so!!!

I spoke too soon. It must have just been loud at work when I initially listened to the fan, because when I brought it home and hooked it up, it was crazy loud. Guess I'll be doing the fan mod after all.

I have an EP2000 for my in-ceiling subs, but I put it in the basement, primarily because of space concerns, but also because of the fan noise. It is quite loud! When I power up the system, I can hear the fan through the floor. It's quite faint, but it's audible. Music, even at low volume, is sufficient to drown it out.
