Thoughts on EMOTIVA amps.

The EMO line gets great reviews & with down to earth pricing have really caught my eye. What are your thoughts on the EMO line?

I'll probably sell the Outlaw mono but the Nikko is staying in the family for reserve duty.

Here's a few scenerio's:
XPA-2 / mains - XPA-3 / center & surrounds
XPA-5 to run the whole show
XPA-3 / mains & center - UPA-2 / surrounds

Any thoughts!

I like the XPA-5 for everything out of your choices. It keeps the entire system balanced as far as the power each speaker is getting, as all 5 channels will be getting 200 watts, as compared to 200 for the front soundstage and only 125 watts for your surrounds with the XPA-3/UPA-2.
