Dumb qstn but I'm a girl---How do I know if I have an Emotiva XPA-5 Gen 1, Gen 2, etc?

My hubby passed a way a year ago in January & I'm now getting around to selling his stereo equipment. He has an Emotiva XPA -5 power amp, but the problem is that I don't know if it's a Gen 1 or Gen 2, etc... I can't get behind the unit to look at it in detail until I get my neighbor or his teenage boys over to help me move it.

I do have the User's Guide and the packing slip from Emotiva. (No date on the packing slip, but for the item name it says, "XPA-5 1,000 watt 5 Channel Power Amplifier.")

Does "1,000 watt" tell anyone anything? If not, is there anything I can look at in the User's Guide that would be key to letting me know which amp I'm dealing with?
Thanks everyone!

Thanks for your reply, Russ69.
What I ultimately decided to do is send a message to Emotiva via their Facebook page.
I also have the Emotiva XSP-1 preamp for which I'm unable to determine the "gen" for, so I sent Emotiva the copyright date (that I found in the User Guide for one component) and the "Revision Date" (that I found in the manual for the other component) to see if they could use that to tell me which versions of the components I have. (I used to do some tech. writing, so I would think they should be able to figure it out from that.)

I'm not really an expert on Emotiva amp iterations but a call to Emotiva with a serial number would probably answer your question. That being said, I don't think Emotiva gear demands super high resale prices. There is an awareness of the product and it will be easy to sell but check on the web for current selling prices. People wanting powerful affordable multi channel amps will want the amp no matter what series it is, I think.
