Which Emotiva XPA-1 monoblocks are you talking about? The very 1st generation that were quite big or the smaller ones that followed later? I remember years ago the 1st gen XPA-1 monoblocks had their fans here.
Emotiva xpa 1 monos
Any love here for xpa 1 monos?While I didn't hear a (big) difference between my Xpa 2 and my xpa 1 mono amps,I'm happy with the price to performance of these amps.I had a McIntosh mc 205 that I sold for upgrade money for better speakers. I replaced it with a Xpa 5 amp.While the McIntosh might have sounded a hair better in bass control it didn't sound 5 grand better! I think Emo xpa 1 's are good value!
