Emotiva XPR-5 power amp?


I'm debating on purchasing an Emotiva XPR-5 5 channel home theater amplifier and I 'm concerned of the reliability issues I've read about in certain threads. Can anyone give they're opinion on the pros and cons of this piece in detail if possible. I am running a Emotiva UMC-200 pre amp with Casta Acoustic model A's all around for home theatre. Very efficient speakers mated with Hidiamond top cords all around. My listening preference is 60/40 home theater/music. Thx in advance.

Rlwainwright, I'm interested in this amp for the reasons of the quality difference as apposed to the XPA-5. Difference in power supply(larger), quality parts, power reserves equals lesser heat. Larger headroom. Etc...I can deal with the price tag. It's mainly the quality-not quantity of power.
Tonyangel, I do have a dedicated 10guage cryoed 20 amp line. I am awaiting an EAD powermaster 2000 20 amp upgraded if it can get shipped out by seller. If not I am looking for a quality amp, silent, great extension and dynamics....etc. the ead should fit that category. Maybe a Theta 1 or maybe if I find a used Sim Titan.
Tonyangel, I understand you completely. So a Theta Dreadnaught 1 or Sim Titan is a way better choice.
