they have B stock, but I don't feel too confortable buying B stock merchandise, how is the resale value of something like that?

one other question, what amp from other brands, like Krell can do the same job as the XPA-2 for example?

Nothing wrong with B-stock. I've bought several.

Just curious why you would be more comfortable buying used from one of us over buying B stock from Emotiva??

B stock has a full 5 year warranty where something from one of us would only have what was left.

I bought an LPA-1 B-stock and sold it three years later for more than I paid, but YMMV.

B stock is used most of the time so resale should be whatever a person could get. The length of warranty could be a big factor also.

There is an XPA-2 on E-bay with sale ending tomorrow. I think the last bid was about $610.00.

I'm looking for speaker cables recommendation, anyone help? Amp are emotiva XPA-1 and speakers are Polk audio RTi A9!, I would like to run two set of cables per amp, since the XPA-1 has two set of terminal and my speakers accept biwiring.

Just buy these and assemble:

http://www.monoprice.com/products/subdepartment.asp?c_id=109&cp_id=10401

Or spend 10 - 100x this price and start convincing yourself that it actually sounds better.

If you're still seriously considering spending a lot of money on "special" speaker wires, read the following first:

I got the speaker cable and the amps, now I need a good source? A good cd player or is the oppo DVD player the way to go?
