No affil. Hi Dave, it's hard to match the price now seeing that the Gen 3 Emotiva amps have jumped so much, however this amp sold for $999 retail. Not accounting for E-Club, Summer or Christmas sales that were still offered by Emotiva when these were selling. They could be had for under $850 brand new if both of those factors played in as each discount averaged 10% off. Tim 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know when they come onto the used market they don't last long so I thought I would put it out there in case somebody was looking. I'm pretty happy with my Gen1 XPA-5. The condition is excellent it's just there is a lot of dust on the face. And I'm even getting to like the brushed aluminum trim pieces. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teaman Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 Even at this price of $850 for a five channel amp with 200 watts per it is still hard to beat. Since Emotiva raised it's prices for the Gen 3 considerably it has resulted in the Gen 1 and Gen 2 torroidal powered Emotiva amps to go up in value...considerably. I just saw a LPA-1 that sold new for $499 ten years ago sell on Ebay for $514 plus $60 for shipping. This is actually more of the norm lately than not. The processors and DAC are also jumped in price. The XDA-2 that Emotiva cleared out for $229 are now selling for around $300 used on Ebay. There is a ten year old DMC-1 processor listed for $1300 on Ebay, although I doubt it will draw that kind of money. You can now look at Emotiva products as an investment!

Ceptorman Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 Price seems high, but they do command a higher price lately. I guess this unopened XPA-2 gen 2 I got 2 years ago for $500 was a deal. Teaman, you stole a nice Emo a couple months ago I believe! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He helped me track down the original owner too, who switched over the warranty into my name. There is still an XPA-2 listed for $400 on the Emotiva site. Still some good deals to be had, just have to be patient I guess. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teaman Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 Seller just updated his AVS listing to show there are still six months of warranty left in case anybody is interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
