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.

What configuration was that?
I was looking at their present line and the top of the range is freaking outrageous, with 1500w for two front, 800w for center and 400w for the 4 surrounds. Not sure as i would truly need that much juice and it costs $3895.

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
