I have the A5175 which for some reason was better quality than the A5 to run the surrounds + heights and ended up switching the heights back to the Yamaha AVR which sounded much crisper than the A5. Sitting collecting dust now.

"Excellent" is a strong word.
These would be more like "decent for the money".
SNR of the bass-x series is below average and they lack relatively simpler features like temperature compensation causing poor output for the first 10 minutes while it warms up.
For most people there is no practical use to upgrade from their built in receiver amps to something like this as the benefits are not that substantial. Of course, if they don't have adequate number of channels of amplification on their receivers this amp can provide a reasonably ok means without breaking the bank.
• 95 watts RMS per channel; 20 Hz – 20 kHz; THD < 0.1%; into 8 Ohms
• 130 watts RMS per channel; 1 kHz; THD < 1%; into 4 Ohms

Measurements/specs are just for capabilities not how it sounds especially universally.
I would say these are better than many of the internal power of poplar mid level AVRs on here.
I can tell you from personal experience these amps in general will drive their T&X speakers more efficiently than mid level AVRs internal amps/power imo.
Added this to the Integra DRX3.4, pretty adequate difference.
