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

uberwaltz,

     I think D-Sonic is a very good choice for a multi-channel class D amp, too. Looks like the 7-ch is very flexible and I know the Ice, Abletec and Pascal modules he offers in his amps  are all good performers. Dennis is great to deal with, too. Very knowledgeable and helpful.

      I've owned a pair of D-Sonic mono-blocks for over a year now and they've been excellent on my main speakers.  Class D is ideal for replacing class A/B amps like your Emotiva.  Class D sounds better, is lighter, smaller, more efficient and doesn't gets warmer than luke-warm.  For myself, switching from class A/B to class D was all benefits with no negatives at all.

Good choice,
   Tim

All good that I am hearing so far on the d-sonic, thanks to everybody for that!
Has anybody experienced Nuforce class d amps at all?

Bought a NU-FORCE 8 channel class d amp and replaced the two Emotiva tanks total about 160lb weight with the one slimline box of approx 30lb.
Could I hear a difference?
Yes, the nuforce actually sounds a lot cleaner than the emotivas especially on music.
i am convinced now on good class d amps can actually be well....good.

There are several brands that feature class D.  Wyred 4 Sound.  Bel Canto, Red Dragon, Class D Audio.  Although for your purposes, Wyred and Class D audio would be the best option for multi channel amps(buying 2 of the 4 channel Class D audio).

Of course there are plenty of good class d amps out there and i was ready to pull the trigger on a d-sonic product albeit at a cost of $3400.
Then i happened across an ad for a open box nuforce mca20 at well under half that price, read a couple of reviews and thought what the heck, its a cheaper way to dip my toes in the water. And very impressed I am too so far.
Now to be clear I am fortunate in that i do not have to play stereo music through the ht rig as my 2 channel rig is completely seperate in another room entirely. So the main focus in this exercise was to reduce the size,weight and power consumption of the amps and still have the same movie experience for the family. And I think I accomplished that aspect very well indeed. And if as a bonus the 2 channel also sounds better all well and good.

Now it has me thinking what i might achieve with a class d in my stereo rig......
