Here’s my $1750…just tell me what to buy..

my old adcom gfa 555II died. I’m still using my old B&W 804 Matrix and I think I just fixed my old Lexicon DC-1, so….

someone just tell me what to do….my ADD is breaking up my marriage, as Ive been at dozens of sites, read hundreds of posts, which are just confusing me..

I’d like to buy a 5 channel amp as my rear speakers are CDM-1 from B&W ( yeah, theyre old too!)

I spend all day in the Operating Room, doing surgery, and I’d love to have someone else make a decision for me for a change..

thanks

Buy the Emotiva XPA-5 and send me the difference. There, your decision is made and all you have to do is implement...;~)

Or get the Anthem - "someone" has lusted after one of those for years and with good reason. Or go a bit over your budget and get an Emotiva XPR-5 (that will dim the lights in your neighborhood...).

It's sooooo easy to get tied up about these things, isn't it? So just get the Emotiva (I'd suggest XPA 'cause) and get tunes back in your life and get your SO a treat with the difference!

Clearly you're NOT a doctor as they refuse to trust anybody's opinions...so I can only assume you're putting people in danger in some obscure 3rd world country. Otherwise, do as "Mr. Hosehead" suggested.

about to start my day, and some people might consider michigan 3rd word..

going to buy the emotiva…thanks for all the input…one of the biggest attraction is the 30 trial period…but also the reviews are fairly consistent..

Another vote for the XPA-5. No affiliation with Emotiva.

I would try to track down some McCormack DNA amps. I just picked up an DNA-1 and it is a great piece. Sounds more like music than anything I have had before.....built like a tank and still sup0pored by the designer. The DNA-.5 amps are going for <$500 on EBay.
