best amp for BASS

My system is in a relatively large room 25x40 with 25ft.ceiling..It is a 5.1 system with meridian 861 and 800.German physics speakers.The Main speakers are Loreley large speakers each having four 12in.woofers.These are bi amped with Xover at 200Hz,with 6db slopes.At present the amps are YBA Passion 1000 mono blocks for the highes(fantastic) and bryston 14bsst for bass.The bass is OK but definitly not great.I would like to augment the bass amp.any ideas?

Try the Crown K-2, maybe two K2's in bridged mode. Although it's cheap I expect that it will outperform a Krell 600 or 650.
I use a Crown K-2 for my Wilson Audio WHOW sub which complements my Watt/Puppy 5.1. It has fantastic control and power. As the WHOW is a mono sub I use the K2 in bridged mode. It has 1600 Watt @ 8 ohms (2500Watt@4Ohms). Damping factor is above 3000!
List price of a Crown K2 is about 1800$ only.
Use XLR connections with the K2 if possible!
