Emotiva equipmet, how good is it?


I don’t have a big budget but need to start making a decent listening system. I have a couple of options open to me for some equipment. All used since I seem to be able to get a better bang for my buck. Wanted to know what people thought, but of course I know opinions don’t matter as much as my ears so just let me know if you have used or heard either of these pieces. Or if you think something is similar toss it out there.
XPA-100. I have a chance to get 2 for just over $500PT-100. Around $200
Someone also suggested I simplify and just buy a new Yamaha A-S801 Integrated Amplifier
Looking at using my current speakers which are Dali Ikon6 and I also have Totem Dreamcatchers. Oh and the room is about a 11 x 16. And yes I saw the opps in the title but it won’t let me fix the spelling of Equipment.

Thanks for your thoughts.

A NuForce STA 200 power amp and a Schiit Freya or Saga Preamp would be a nice combination. You can get the NuForce from Audio Advisor for 499.00 and the Schiit Freya for 699.00 or Schiit Saga for 349.00. The detail in the NuForce Amp is amazing for 500 bucks.
Good Luck!
