My Emotiva XPA-5 is out for repair and I started thinking about a 7 channel amp as I have the speakers and processor to do so.I have read some excellent reviews on this amp.I know it cost 3 times what the Emo did but....Please give me your thoughts/opinions on this.I am running the 15's,lsic.9's and have some Lsi/fx's on the way.i have a brand new Emotiva UMC-1 in the box to use as the proc.Is this like matching Target and Macy's together?I know I will have to drop a 20amp circuit in as well. Thx, Eddie

    Not sure if it will help but I have been using the Ref 7250ii for years on my RTi-10s and love it. Very solid refined sounding amp, all my equipment shares the same 15 amp circuit with no issues. I am sure the 200.7 is the same or better. I have heard the LSi-9s on a B&K amp and thought the combination sounded great.
    AVR: Elite VSX-21TXH
    Amplifier: B&K 7250 Series ii
    Misc: Velodyne SMS-1
    Mains: RTi-10
    Center: CSi-5
    Rear: Boston DSi460
    Sub: SVS PC-Ultra

    Excellent choice for LSis. I had B&K 125.7 at one time, great sounding match: a tad warm, detailed, enough oomph to drive safely beyond 4 ohms. You will notice the 200.7 has more reserve power, and perform well at lower volume.
    I am sorry, I have no opinion on the matter. I am sure you do. So, don't mind me, I just want to talk audio and pie.
