Shodrewken Posted December 16, 2011 Author Share Posted December 16, 2011 So anyway, just hooked the XPA-2 up, yeah believe the hype! It's all that and a bag of chips! Seriously though this thing rocks, and its dead quiet for me too. What was immediately apparent was the power of this thing. The head room over my Yamaha is amazing, my Forte's seem quicker now mainly in the bass area. And everything else seems to come alive. It almost seems like a blanket was taken off of my speakers. I just got done with a two hour listening session and I have to say my ears do not feel fatigued at all. I dunno how to describe it, but it almost seems the XPA-2 has tamed my pre-amp and made the sound a bit warmer and easier to listen to. This is just a quick observation of mine, I am by no means an expert on sound but from what I can tell this is a significant upgrade to my system. I have to give a big thank you to the guys and gals at Emotiva for making a kick *** amp for the mere mortal to afford and own! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CECAA850 Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 You can read all you want about outboard amplification but you never really understand the difference till you hear it first hand.[Y] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wuzzzer Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 Awesome! If you ever get a chance you should try and hear what 400 digital watts sound like through Fortes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shodrewken Posted December 18, 2011 Author Share Posted December 18, 2011 Its official, the XPA-2 has made my sub almost not necessary for two channel audio listening, sorry to keep going on and on but man I love this amp! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schu Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 I hit the reserve button for emotiva holiday pricing on the X2 several weeks ago... no luck yet in as far them letting me know one is available. I almost bought a pair of the mono x1's but I kind of glad I didn't, my set up is powerful enough just using the USP pre amp in analog. when that X2 shipment comes in I will be getting one if I still get that pricing.

jhoak Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 Congrats on the new amp. Emotiva does put out some nice stuff. I'm running one of their USP-1 preamps and a XDA-1 DAC. Crank it up and enjoy... [] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
