| Emotiva xpa 1 monos One of the better reviews of the original xpa -1 amp is called Ryan's Banter.I enjoyed the honest and tell it like it is type of review of these amps.No more sales at Emotiva anymore and prices are going up!I still believe in buy the best speakers... | |
| Emotiva xpa 1 monos Yes the xpa-1 amps are nice!The only complaint so far are the wide spread speaker posts.The posts are way to far apart for most wires! | |
| Audioquest My system right know is Thiel 3.7,Integra 80.3,Emotiva xpa5,B&W 12 inch passive sub,xpa 2 for sub power,AQ Columbia xlrs,AQ Rocket 44 speaker wires,surround rears and center speaker.It really exells at movies but pretty good with 2 channel als... | |
| Emotiva xpa 1 monos Spirialling costs for marginal improvements just doesn't make sense to me anymore!Im going to get the most out of the Xpa-1 monos and have a Coke and a smile!👍 | |
| Audioquest I did upgrade from type 4 to rocket 44.It did tighten sound up a bit and has more depth to it.I think it was worth it!I'm going to stop there for now because I think using a processor for 2 channel also is only going to take me so far? | |
| Emotiva xpa 1 monos I have noticed more of a difference changing preamps other than amplifiers in my systems.Some things work together and some don't!When I used xpa 1 's with my Thiel 3.7's ,I had a few friends (with real expensive systems)tell me they couldn't be... | |
| Emotiva xpa 1 monos Yes,mid fi amps and high end speakers!Rock on!🤘 | |
| Emotiva xpa 1 monos I'm using all Emo gen 2 amps.I thought xpa 1 's might be bright using them with B&W 805 Diamonds,but they are not.Using balanced interconnects with the monos made a noticeable difference.i noticed more of an upgrade using monos with my 805's ... | |
| Magico vs Kef vs B&W vs. VSA I think B&W's make most music listenable!Even bad recordings are tolerable to me.Unlike my Thiels that suck on bad recordings! | |
| Speaker jumpers I would like to try biwire?Here is the problem.I have emo xpa 1 monos with the posts too far apart for most wires.A Agon post said he used two pair of banana plugs on each end of his speaker wire to make the connection.Is this a bad thing to do?w... | |
| Looking for THE amp to anchor my system, Krell, Plinius or maybe a D How about a pair of Emotiva Xpa-1 monos?The best-no!Good,I think so!I have a pair that powered my Thiel 3.7's very nicely,and now I use them on my B&W 805 diamonds.Ive had nothing but good times with my xpa1 amps and use them daily.You could g... | |
| Speaker jumpers My system now is 2 xpa1 monos,Onkyo 886 processor,king cobra xlrs,type 4 wires,until rocket 44 s come in,B&W 805 Diamonds,Goldenear xxl sub,AQ Irish red sub cable,Marantz CD player.I know 886 processor isn't the best choice,but I still like it. | |
| Speaker jumpers Yes,it is fun trying different things to see what works!I just used a left over AQ sub 3 cable on a p.o.s. subwoofer I have in a garage system,was a big upgrade!The sub almost sounds respectable!(almost)! | |
| Speaker jumpers Yes,I did consider bi wire,but got the chance to order a new pair of AQ rocket 44 regular cables for almost free!(Using AQ type 4 now).Going to see how new cables sound when I get them and go from there.I appreciate all the responses!I am getting ... | |
| Speaker jumpers Just to add to the internal wiring response,I had a pair of def tech some time ago.The sub went out and had to open it up to replace.I couldn't believe how cheap the wires were inside of that speaker.I was trying to use decent speaker wire,only to... |
