I bought a pair of xpa-100's and being I am not terribly familiar with Emo offerings I would venture to guess that xpa-1 is a different amp. I think thats the one twice the size of my xpa-100?
My xpa-100's sound great and are pretty much my daily player although I do switch out to Pass xa30.5 and a Burgess 2a3 50lb SET. Being what my other amps are this may lead other members to consider that I am not over rating mine. They are good sounding mono's. bass, mids, and maybe not quite as sparkly in the highs as my Pass amp but I would really have to A/B to get more of a sense .
