tmassey Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 Hopefully! They are apparently demoing their XMC-1 preamp and XSP-1 stereo preamp at EmoFest which is next weekend. It should be interesting to see how they perform. I only hope they have some better speakers than their own to demo them on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Youthman Posted August 24, 2012 Moderators Share Posted August 24, 2012 I only hope they have some better speakers than their own to demo them on. That would be pretty embarassing of them not willing to use their own speakers for their demos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vital Posted August 24, 2012 Author Share Posted August 24, 2012 Vital, did you ever buy one?No I did not. I picked up a Sharp 70" LED 847U instead lol. This is still on my list but I have to buy a crib and some baby furniture first lol. I have a little girl coming in December so need to take care of that and THEN I can figure out what's in the budget. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Youthman Posted August 27, 2012 Moderators Share Posted August 27, 2012 Honestly, I think it was the better decision. A 70" LED probably looks amazing and that's huge for a TV. The XPR-5 looks beastly but I'm just not sure you will actually "hear" a difference between that and the XPA-5....maybe I'm wrong. Congrats on the new baby.

Klipschht Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 I feel your pain, just had my first little girl too. [] Greatest event of life, but does put a hurt on dad's toys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just excited by the new gear, love the look of it but I have quite a few other things that are more important. The TV has made a huge difference, much more than the amp would. Congrats on the new baby. Thank you sir! It's a blessing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tragusa3 Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 What would anyone need from an XPR that the XPA is not doing? Also, are alot of people having noise floor concerns with the XPA? Mine is dead silent...do I not know what noise floor means? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Youthman Posted August 27, 2012 Moderators Share Posted August 27, 2012 What would anyone need from an XPR that the XPA is not doing? MORE BLUE LIGHTS!!!! [] They are quite mesmerizing. [] Also, are alot of people having noise floor concerns with the XPA? Mine is dead silent...do I not know what noise floor means? Not sure I know exactly what "noise floor" is without googling it but it basically means since Klipsch have a high sensitivity, they reveal the "noise" that comes from the amp, thus many have experienced loud hissing or "noise" coming from the speakers when the amp is on and no music is playing. That is at least my simple understanding of it without getting technical. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivanhurd Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 ^^^That's pretty much it. It doesn't necessarily have to be loud tho, just any noise coming thru when nothing is playing. If you turn your speakers up loud enough, you will probably hear a bit of a hiss from anything you have the speakers hooked up to, but hearing it at a low volume = high noise floor.

tmassey Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 Can't wait till the XPR-1's come out, I think I am going to get 7 of them. I will finally be able to do these RF-83's some justice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TasDom Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 I've only had mine for a couple of weeks now but so far it is dead silent. Maybe it was a fault with earlier productions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tragusa3 Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 Well, that was my understanding too. If I put my ear right in the horn itself, I can tell the power is on. I wouldn't call it noise, but there is ever so slight of something. But if my ear is 24" from the horn, I couldn't hear a thing. Certainly nothing 20' back where my LP is. Just saying, it might be a non issue that snowballed on the internet? or, for the folks this happened too, they could have had anything else in the chain making noise? I don't know... Anyway, blue lights = good. I get it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
