wvu80 Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 Let's get @teaman in on this discussion. He is our local Emotiva guru and can certainly advise you better than me. I own an Emotiva XPA-5 but I am by no means an authority on amps. First of all the Denon 4400 is an excellent choice so you're good to go there. Audyssey can help your different speakers play nice together. I am curious why you have named so many different amps for your setup. Do you already own them? Also, why the Emo speakers for L/C/R? I would think the SVS Ultra Towers would be your L/R. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teaman Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 Markyboy, you have a lot going on there. With the Denon 4400 I see no reason to amp the channels with an A-700. Your AVR is probably putting out as much. With the mains and maybe the center the XPA-2 or XPA-3 makes sense. For the cost of both an XPA-2 and the A-700 you may be better off with an XA-5 or XPA-7 that actually adds punch to all of those channels. Your AVR internal amps should be plenty for surround, height and Atmos. Not sure on that blend of speakers. The JBL, Emotiva and SVS all employ different tweeter technologies and I am not sure how panning across the room would sound. All you need is a pair of RCA cables to use between your Denon and the Emotiva via main input in and out. Tim Ps....a guy has a like new XPA-7 Gen 3 on AVSForum for $1100 shipped which seems like a great deal https://www.avsforum.com/forum/209-audio-gear/3000644-wtb-emotiva-xpa-3-gen3.html 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
