I'm setting up an active system, 2ch x 2-way, so four channels of amplification required.
http://www.diyaudio.com/forums/multi-way/298422-active-paradigm-export-monitor-upgrade.html
When passive, these were powered by nCore 400 monoblocks, and I was extremely happy with that amp. In their new configuration, that won't be enough channels, so I'm looking to repurpose the nCore boxes and run something else for the active configuration.
I've been considering the Sure AA-AB32512, two of them, powered by Mean Well SE-600-48 power supplies, one each.
Any opinions? Alternative recommendations? This kind of power is clearly way too much for the tweeter, and more than I need for the woofer section, but the amplifier seems to get very positive reviews.

What about one weaker amp for the tweeters and a stronger one for the woofers?
I like my Anaview amps which are run direct of the mains, two mixed amps on left channel, same on right channel. New distributor was just posted in another thread.

How about one of the Hypex UcD 34 modules. Not much power, but one of the UcD32s manage to drive a pair of Kef Refeence Threes at my house to quite decent sound levels, and they still have a bit to spare..
These modules are on end of life sale at Hypex for silly money right now - €50 for the 2-channel and €65 for the 4-channel, including power supply. You'll need input buffers for them.

Thanks for the suggestion re: Hypex. I may take that one. For now, I bought a Theta Digital Intrepid for a song, and I'll just resell that whenever I figure out what I want to do in the Class D realm (probably making a profit, and, if not, heck, it was pretty).
The Hypex modules would be plenty of power for these speakers, certainly... between one channel per driver and me not expecting earth shattering bass (I'll integrate a sub for that), I don't think I'll need more than that.
