What is the downside of Emotiva XPR-2 600Watts amps per channel?
I have read good reviews on the XPR-2 for Home Theater.
600/1000 watts per channel.
What are the bad sonic characteristics?
What will I hear different compared to my McIntosh 501's
My speakers are built/take 600 watts, so that is not a problem.
I need an amp for a different 5.1 system at my beach home.
Thanks for any input from those that have heard the XPR amps.

Re: What is the downside of Emotiva XPR-2 600Watts amps per channel?
If it means anything, I have an Emotiva UMC200 preamp-processor for my BIG 42" TV
with Fostex PM2 active powered speakers.
I have been very happy with it, have had no problems and when I was trying to get a second one for the bedroom, I found they were discontinued for a newer model (probably to handle 4K) that I plan to get as soon as it comes out.
It has tremendous value for the dollar and has worked perfectly for the last year.
The only downside is the lack of bragging rights for what you paid for it!Listening Room: McIntosh C46, MEN220, MCD500, MR78-Modafferi modified, MPI4, MC602 (2), Pass Labs XVR1 (three-way), tri-amplified Infinity IRS Series V, TailTwister T2X rotator, AtlasSound FMA Rack, dedicated electrical sub-panel, NO TV!
Living Room: McIntosh C28, MC2300, Revox B226, Tascam CD355, Thorens TD125 MKII w/vacuum platter, Rabco SL-8E, Grace F9-E, McIntosh ML-2C (2) & ML-1C (4) stacked, MQ-107, SAE 2800, Nakamichi Dragon, Tandberg 64X, JL Audio f113 (2), NO TV!

Well, I want to share an experience about possible break-in... I have my k03-xd for about 1 year now and recently got into playing a lot of CDs (incl. SACD) which I might have done about 50 times...
