Matrixx9 Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 Was trying to get a gen 3 but a good friend on here turned me on to Gen 2. So here I go! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ceptorman Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 The Emotiva Lounge forum has those for sale occasionally. They usually don't last long. Actually Ebay is a good source for used Emo gear, might find one close to home. If you can't find any used Emo gear, Tim @teaman has all of it! The XPA-7 Gen3 is pretty price, and I've heard the Gen2 stuff is better anyway. If I hear of one, I'll let you know....good luck. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know you mentioned an Emotiva amp, but are you open to other brands? There are quite a few other brands that offer great gear....ATI, Parasound, Anthem, Krell, Marantz, etc...

Someone suggested Emotiva and I did a lot of research is only reason I said Emotiva. Now I'd take a Krell in a heartbeat but after several of you wonderful guys on here helped me complete my Klipsch 11.2 set I am pretty sure Krell is way way out of my league. If you have experience with another brand 7 channel amp please ket me know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I checked the 2 you sent and the 7 although pretty high sold already. But now I have an additional place to check other than the 3 ceptorman sent me.

Ceptorman Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 https://www.ebay.com/b/7-Channel-Home-Audio-Power-Amplifiers/14970/bn_42782090 Ebay has quite a few 7 channel amps that are priced well. I love Emotiva, I have a 2 channel one in my system, but some of their used prices are higher than they were at msrp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I don't have any personal experience with Krell, they are a HUGE name in audio gear. I do know most of their stuff is very expensive. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matrixx9 Posted January 5, 2020 Author Share Posted January 5, 2020 11 hours ago, 314carpenter said: Have you considered Classe? Shameless plug Going to research this now. So that is a 6 channel amp? Is it meant for audio only? I've only seen odd number amps to account for the center channel before Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is an amplifier, so yes. 2 hours ago, Matrixx9 said: I've only seen odd number amps to account for the center channel before Adding a monoblock amp for the center, to augment a 6 channel amp, would make for a very nice 7 channel setup. I use the Classe CAV-150 bridged for the front 3 channels giving me 300W/LCR. I have different 7 channel amp powering the 6 remaining channels @200W each. I love the excess.
