amps for mids and highs

looking for a good sounding amp to run my mids and one to run my highs.  i run 3 way active with a DCX2496.  Tops are my own design consisting of 2-12" eminence Delta Pro 12 and a Faital Pro HF146 on a Faital Pro LTH142 horn. 

the amps need to be lite weight.  i have considered the Crown xti 4002 for mids and a Crown xti 1002 for highs.  i've also considered the PLX2 series amps from QSC.  any suggests or feedback on how these amps sound is appreciated.  thanks.  

The XTi (2) range (to my ears anyway) are very harsh and I dont particularly like them.
Look for something class AB? Crown Pulse 2x650? MC2 if you have the budget?

what was the issue with the DCX?  i don't hate it and it seems to do just fine.  the EV being $1300 really isn't an option.  i've seen a few DBX 260s at reasonable prices used.  i am running QSC RMX amps right now and just looking to change to something a little easier on the back.  this system is used for live bands 95% of the time.

Limited? I doubt it. Where you are should be the best place for some old Crests, eg 7001, Vs 2200, or a CA9/12.

EDIT:  Just saw the lightweight bit, sorry - but still stick by what I said!
