Best cab to put into an old Markbass combo?

I can't seem to let go of my older Markbass CMD 115 (see my profile picture). The amp has survived 2 repairs in 4 years and still sounds farty so I need to move on. The speaker is just perfect in my home studio and it sounds good with a newer Gnome pro 600 that I recently bought off Talkbass. However now I want something class D or hybrid that would slide into the back of the MB combo cab with the fan in back. I am skeptical of Mark Bass amps because of the pain of those repairs, so an alternate brand would be best. Thanks for your wisdom! These are the amp specs:

1X15"
PIEZO TWEETER 3.5 KHZ

400W RMS
40HZ TO 18KHZ 100

8Ω

REAR
 
Spec's you need to give are; [with rear fan] for Amp I assume not Cab as your header states

HEIGHT: 2 rack units (3.27 in. / 83 mm)
WIDTH: 10.87 in. / 27.6 cm (19 in. / 48.3 cm with optional rack ears)
DEPTH: 9.84 in. / 25 cm

All Little Mark Amps will fit after removing top; since you don't want MarkBass Amps size is important with others and most likely you may have to be creative with modifications for stability.
 
If you decide you do want another MB amp, I just pulled a 2018 Combo Head II (Little Mark III 500w) from a CMD121 (literally today) and it's about to go up for sale. PM if interested. Looks and works excellent. (Top plate transplanted from the new head)

Good to know, thanks.
