Replacement of Elemental Designs Amplifier

[myke]

I have the ED A2-300 with the LT-200 amp that burned out. The amp dimension is 8 1/4 inches square. Anyone replace one of these amps? What did you replace it with?

Id prefer not to toss the driver and enclosure. If there is no direct amp replacement what should I do with the driver and enclosure? Any advice you can provide would be great.

cover the amp cutout with something and install a binding post on that cover. use a pro amp.

Do you have a recommendation on a pro amp that is decent that might not cost a lot?

someone here can recommend specific links, but Crown amps within your budget are regularly recommended for this purpose. (these cost 200-300 bucks)

Crown XLS 1500 is more than enough. If they have a 1000 maybe go with it. I had issues with my amp on my ED and had it replaced when ED was around. I also had a VC go out on another A2-300 so I would not over invest in the unit. Maybe consider get the cheapest plate amp you can find at 200 watts from Parts Express.

PE sells component sub amps also, that way it can be used with other subs if/when the eD does die completely.

and though not technically a sub amp, the APA150 can be used as one also because it has a low pass function:
