Can’t find anything meaningfully more powerful than the good old B&Q 1000ASP (600W @ 8 ohm). Would've thought the market would have made some progress since 2007 (power, price).
I’m looking for something on the order of a Behringer NU6000 (approx. 1,000W @8 ohm), which I have but want module format for another project.
This is for hifi (up to max 400 Hz) so no loud fan requirement.
Integrated power supply is preferred.

Thank you 👍 😀
But damn - that's expensive! One module is more than 2-channels of Behringer and two modules is more than a FP14000 clone with twice the power...
Not gonna lie, I had hoped there'd be something cheaper around.

The 1200AS2 is 1200w mono into 4ohms. Prices are reasonable given the high quality. Do you need that much power ? Is this a professional sound reinforcement application?
If you want huge power , you need to pay $$$$
For relatively crappy equipment.
The sweet spot is 50 to 300w . After that the market is small and speaker driver choice very limited.
There are many reasons why folks here post of the magic sound they get from a 10 watt SE tube amplifier.

Oh, I don't know----$588 for 2,000 watts is only ~ 29¢ per watt. Cheap, really!!

Can be bridged, and remember they are used

Amps are sized so that standard cabling can be used between amps and speakers - big PA systems have many amps driven via ethernet, avoiding the need for massively thick speaker cabling running at crazy voltages, and complicated series/parallel speaker hookup.
I suspect the biggest class-D amps you'll find are specialist ones for driving large vibration tables (electrically the same as a giant subwoofer!).
How would a >1kW audio amp be used in practice??

Here's an example of a modestly sized shaker table amp, a mere 5kVA (typo in the description though) : https://www.bksv.com/en/instruments...iers/lds-shaker-amplifier/lds-hpa-k-amplifier
What on earth are you doing. 1 KW into 8 Ohm is 90V rms. That is LV, not SELV and introduces a whole load of cable and connector safety issues.
The power supply is approaching the limits of what you can draw from a normal domestic 230V outlet and beyond a US 110V outlet.
These are another reason, apart from cable size, why pro sound often uses many smaller amplifiers.
