why did you add a fan to the emotiva no reason too

This is my second comment on this video. Just a few days ago, I found out the difference in performance between RCA and XLR. My current processor is the Marantz AV8805 and previously I owned the 7702, 8802a, a Yamaha CXA5200, an Onkyo PRSC5530 and not once were any of them used with a balanced XLR connection. The reason I made the switch was because I picked up a Denon X8500H paired with my XPA5 Gen1 and I was blown away so much so by the Denon that I put my AV8805 up for sale. Then I did research after research and thought I'd give XLR a try. OH MY GOODNESS I was floored.....! The sound coming through my speakers were, punchy, open, super clear, louder, more enveloping and I could hear details in the mix I didn't know where present! My goodness what a transformation! If you are using this XPA Amplifier via its RCA input, you're getting nowhere near the 250W/CH advertised. The XPA requires a minimum of 1.5Vrms to reach full power and that Marantz SR will put out 0.9 or 1.0Vrms max. As most AV receivers do not have XLR outs, you might want to consider upgrading to a separates processor otherwise you're not experiencing the XPA as it was intended.

yes audyssey should always be run after changing your equipment

The volumr Knob is PLASTIC!!

It’s a AB amp with a switching H power supply

If you need to crank up the volume to accomodate the output mean you also increase distortion. I normally stay away from amp that use transformer instead of toroidal unless the amp is class D with purpose for only movie and to drive sub. They are cutting cost and it weight less in shipping. The hybrid power distribution being use in receivers for years. Hence, RMS are not all channels driven and only 2 channels. It BS how in emotiva forum where room admim telling their switching PSU is more reliable than the old toroidal. I own a rotel 1095 which bought new nearly 20 years ago and still kicking like new.

hello, can you use amazon music in this yamaha?

My gen 2 Xpa 5 weighs 72 lbs

I had an XPA 5 Gen 3 which I used to run the main 5 channels with may Yamaha RXA 3060. I then ordered an XPA 9 Gen 3 as a one box solution. The XPA 9 unfortunately was delayed and so whilst I was waiting for delivery, I saw a used XPA Gen 1 which I thought I'd purchase for use as a temporary stop gap until the XPA 9 arrived.... I was UTTERLY BLOWN AWAY by the power from the Gen 1 so much so that I not only sold the XPA 9 when it eventually arrived, I also emailed Emotiva to question their power ratings! I still have the Gen 1 till this day.

will this be good for motion 20 martin logan?

Don't even plug it in? Would be nice to see it connect up and see what the damn lights do when it does...

Many thanks for taking the time and making the effort to share all this great info.

The amps are still A/B but add in a hybrid class H. It runs on lower voltage rails until it sees a need then instantly switches to higher voltage rail. The other big change is the move to a SMPS power supply.

I have someone selling to me for around $800, Wondering what is the production date on this model ? Wondering if I should buy newer model. I like to hang on to my gear for a long time and want to last. Life span of these amps before things start to act up ? Thanks, Rich

Useless cable

Review for nothing...

9$

How's the bass quality ? 🤔

Thanks for the short and beneficial review.

im trying to connect this to a NVidia shield, so my NVidia shield can output audio through the USB port throught the Mini USB DAC and into my speaker, im using a RCA to Aux to connect the Mini USB DAC to my speaker... but cant seem to get any audio out, can anyone help?

You can't feel quiet, it has to be heard, better yet measured.

I'm in a remote place with no internet but I do have data. Can I still set up all the stream functions?

Its an xpa 5 gen 1 worth 450$?

To select the songs from the USB, the phone app is needed.

Bowers not Bellows. What a numpty.

Hello, do you have a amplifier's measurement or link to measurements as I couldn' t find any? Thanks, M

The change in gain was for a good reason. The original amps' gain was NOT the THX reference gain. What that mean is that when using it with many receivers or other brands of power amps, especially when using fairly high efficiency speakers such as Klipsch, is that the room correction software such as Audyysey could not compensate for the difference in gain between front and back or height speakers using the different brands of amp. Audyysey has a maximum of plus or minus 12 dB correction, so if the difference between the front and back or heights requires more than that amount of gain, it would just max out at 12 dB, resulting in the speakers not being correctly optimized. This happened to me using the big Definitive Technology towers as my rears. Also, with very efficient speakers, some users would get noise from the old amps due to the high gain. The current generation 3 amps now use the THX reference gain like most other amp manufacturers. Of course that means you would have to turn up the volume on your preamp with the new amps to get the same output as the old amp, but that doesn't mean the new amp puts out less power or is in some way inferior to the old amps.

Amp sound quality not very good, all about power. A cheap amp

I own the XPA-2 gen 2 and it’s dead quiet. I have it powering Klipsch RF-7 ll speakers and I wouldn’t trade it in for any thing else. I’m not a fan of the new gen 3 Emotiva amps.

Been using the WXA-50 for 5 months now with 3020i and yesterday for the first time I noticed that the amp is sending out a very mild but noticeable static noise on the speakers when AUX is selected. Does your unit do the same? Is this supposed to happen?

Does the app show list of songs available on the USB stick?

Very good, ill be searching for a gen 1 now.

Hi, if the source have dolby digital or dts sound, will it pass it to the optical out (and eventually to the avr)?

Hi, Thinking of buying the xpa 3 Gen 3 , i have now the XTZ edge A2-300 amp for my Sonus Faber venere 3.0. What Would u say the sound character is on the emotiva. Harsh or warm? Have a nice day

Does it support airplay 2?

Interesting video. Its too bad they got rid of their holiday sales... saved a couple hundred on a xpa gen 2 (new) years ago.

Which speakers would you recommend for this amp - Dali Spektor 2 or Q ACOUSTICS Q 3020i or PSB Alpha P5 or Polk Audio S15e. Thank you
