Emotiva XPA5 vs Wyred MC5

I'm actually considering an ST 1000 to run my fronts and leaving the XPA5 for centre and rears

I have a W4S MC7x250 fed from a STI-500 integrated. I upgraded from a Parasound P3, 2 Parasound A23s and an HCA-1205a. Very happy with the Wyred4Sound equipment. Sounds crisp, and clean. Runs very cool. Can listen for hours without fatigue. Using Monitor Audio Gold speakers and digital sources through W4S DAC-2. Allow 200 hours break-in for absolute performance.
