Any ideas on the Emotiva Xpa 1 Gen 2 vs other Mono or 2 channel amps? Okay, here's another thought. Adcom. They've been introducing new 2 channel amps since 2011 or so, and the new amps are based on the award winning designs that put them on the map.I'd suggest the GFA 565SE or the 575SE depending on how strong yo... | |
Any ideas on the Emotiva Xpa 1 Gen 2 vs other Mono or 2 channel amps? I just checked the specs on the emotiva XPA-1, and in the specifications section they state that 4 ohms is the minimum load recommended. I guess not all monoblocks are the same. I wasn't suggesting that any stereo amps shouldn't be run in bridge... | |
Any ideas on the Emotiva Xpa 1 Gen 2 vs other Mono or 2 channel amps? No, that is not true, auxinput. First of all, what you are describing is true of almost any 2 channel amp that is bridgeable. For instance, the A21 Parasound amp you recommended states that in monoblock operation, the A21 should only be connecte... | |
Morrow Audio MA5 Interconnects. Cougar, you might want to go with Morrow's phono cables, which are shielded, for your turntable. I've tried unshielded on mine and had humming issues.The MA5 is a seriously good cable, though. I've recently acquired a pair, and I ordered them wi... | |
Do I have to spend $4000 plus to get a better sounding speaker than GET model 7 ? And the Tektons come in "Red" or "Grey" too!Surely they could do more about the looks of their speakers? Boring boxes with primary color options, but at least they throw in some extra tweeters! | |
Adcom GFA-555 in Mexico on 127 volts? I'm not going to get all ethnic, but I will get all budgetary because a $2000 surge suppressor is a little bit much. Surely a $200 unit would suffice. | |
Any ideas on the Emotiva Xpa 1 Gen 2 vs other Mono or 2 channel amps? Mancub, for the best in helpful advice, it is essential to also list what speakers you will be driving, and the room size as well.That said, if Emotiva has any faults, it would be that they can get bright/harsh sounding with some program material,... | |
Dealers hijacking the discussions I think the issue here is bad behaviour, and there is plenty of that coming from non dealer posters. | |
FLOAT LIKE A BUTTERFLY STING LIKE A BEE Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee. Rumble young man, rumble. | |
Has anyone made the jump to $uper High end and were disappointed? Strange thread topic. Has anyone made the drop to entry level cheap made in China budget crap and been ambivalent about it? | |
Looking for a reasonably priced good quality interconnect Huh, I went to work and missed all of the action I see!Rvpiano, you really can't go wrong with the MA3. I presently have them and liked them so much I bought a pair of the MA5 and MA1.1. I believe they'll blend well with your CJ pre, but as othe... | |
Looking for a reasonably priced good quality interconnect I prefer the sound of solid core conductors, individually insulated instead of varieties of stranded wire. Audioquest is a good option as well as Morrow Audio MA3 or 4. Morrow has discounts on their site, and one can buy Audioquest on reputable ... | |
Do I have to spend $4000 plus to get a better sounding speaker than GET model 7 ? In Sunny's defense, upgrading speakers can be a difficult task. It looks like he's started several threads on his speaker search in the last few months alone. I suppose one can be guilty of analysis paralysis, perhaps he'll make up his mind by t... | |
BI AMP PARADIGM PRESTIGE Center channel Hey there, I used to have Paradigm 7 as well, and I've also had the Signature S6 V2. I've been curious about the Prestige line so I looked up the specs and it looks like the 45C will take 150 watts max, and a suitable amp range is up to 220 watt... | |
Tiny Titans The Luna from Ascend Acoustics is definitely worthy of the short list. Ribbon tweeter by RAAL, so accuracy will be its high point, which of course translates to amazing imaging. $1150, and they come in several finishes.http://forum.ascendacoustics... |
