Replacing Emotiva XPA-2 & XPA-5 power amps in HT system with class D

I have one of the original D-Sonic 7 Channel amps based on the B&O Ice Power modules and love it.  In my case Dennis (the owner) happily configured it exactly the way I wanted the 7 channels set up.

In my case I needed a ton of power (running B&W 800s bi-amped front and B&W 803s rear)) so I opted for 6X1000w/4ohm for the front and rears and 500W for my smallish center channel.

Your proposed config doesn't sound unreasonable if you are running power-hungry speakers as I am, and for the price is very very reasonable IMHO.

In any event, you should consider giving Dennis a call and he can be helpful suggesting the right configuration for your needs.

I seem to recall at the time of my purchase that Dennis spent a couple of hours with me over a few different calls and was great to deal with.

Even a few years later we have been in touch recently via email - he's very responsive.

If there's any more input I can provide, I'm happy to help.

BTW- I'm not in any way affiliated w/ D-Sonic, just a very happy customer.

Take care

I bet that would be plenty of power (and more than likely overkill for your ML center, which I also have).  One thing you should obviously do if this is the setup you're after is simply get a 7X unit with the modules that you want versus one 4X and one 3X.  Save a few bucks and a bunch of rack space.

Let us know how it works out for you!

PS - Not sure where you're located, but if you happen to be in the NYC area, you're welcome to come give a listen.
