Have you tried one yourself?
I have ran many amps from many many companies and this amp is actually a nice amp.

It deff does more than the 63~ watts per channel that Russian site published.

No, Ive seen multiple bench tests of multiple NX series amps and none of them made rated power.

can you send me a link?

I'm not trying to start anything I'm just saying.

When I was debating on getting this amp I couldn't find anything about a bench test or any real world results.

just a lot of people saying the same thing as everyone else.

I'm not saying it's the best amp every made, but for the size and out put its really hard to beat.

yes, this is the same review I saw.

Pretty much the only one online.

My point is, people mostly follow what other people say on forums without giving some equipment a chance.

I had some extra money so I spend it on the NX5 and im happy I did.

Polk Audio D5000.5 or Kenwood XR-5S. They provide the rated power with low noise signal and good THD according to tests I have seen. They're very small, but Polk is a little longer and narrower. Polk as the power and ground connectors on the opposite side from the RCA and speaker wire connectors, while Kenwood has all connectors on one side. I think their online prices are about $350 or less. The Alpine PDX-5 v9 looks interesting, but it's a lot more expensive and there haven't been any reviews yet.

Do you have much experience with the Polk D5000.5? Or anyone really for that matter?

Not directly with it, but I would not hesitate to buy it. I own the related PPI P900.4 The subjective listening tests to evaluate just the amplifier are nearly worthless because human acoustic memory is very short. John "Zaph" Krutke (of zaphaudio.com) is arguing something along these lines too; listening tests are good for evaluating the whole audio system, but the individual component is best bench tested. For what it worth, I got the PPI P900.4 amplifier which is based on the same design as Polk D4000.4, which belongs to the same family as D5000.5. Based on bench tests I have seen, I think Polk D series of amplifiers may be slightly better amplifiers than PPI Phantom for the highs due to higher channel separation spec on the Polks. However, this is something that only people who work DSP with time alignment and independent left/right equalizer should worry about. For someone without advanced DSP, both should be very good. I use my PPI for subwoofer and rear speakers.
