....after reading into your post a little more in depth...and Strindl's post. I remember a thread not too long ago about the XPA5 being used as a HT amp and stereo (at loud volumes) and I remember the thread going something along the lines of "if you plan on listening at loader volumes buy a xpa2 and xpa3 because the xpa was designed to be a stereo amp, not the xpa5." I don't remember where I saw this thread but both Dann G and Lonnie were commenting about it. I am sure that there are plenty of people that use the xpa5 to push 2 channels at loud volumes, but wasn't the intended use of the product which I can see both sides... Hope that helps.
I would go this route if 2ch was used more than 60% - 70% of the time, otherwise the xpa3/5 would be my choice
You could always grab the xpa5 and use it to run the center channel and then bi-amp your L/R front's with the remaining channel's
Even if your surround's are not rated to handle 200w you can always adjust the speaker level through your AVR
Lot's of GOOD, CLEAN, REAL power is MUCH MUCH better than half cooked power, know what i mean?
As previously mentioned room size & design charecteristic's play's quite a big role in what we hear, if you have a large room to fill with your listening style you will definately be happy when you add an external amp

Chris99,
I have almost the identical Pioneer AVR you have which is the VSX-74TXVi. I use a XPA-5 with it without any problems. I think the reason why you are running at the +5 setting is that our Pioneer AVRs don't have that much "real" power in multi-channel mode. Both our receivers which use the same amps, only output approximately 52 watts per channel in multi-channel mode. I think you will fine that combining it with the XPA-5, you will not need to turn the volume control as high. But I do know you will immediately notice greater air, detail, dynamics and a truer quality to the sound vs. the internal amps of the Pioneer. I don't think you will blow out your surrounds with the XPA-5. There is usually not much going on the rear channels to begin with.

The one piece of information that you left out was how large is your listening room. The size of your room can have a huge impact upon which amp would be your best choice; but, given your stated propensity for listening at very high volume levels, I would recommend that you purchase the XPA-5. This amp would provide a major step up in sound quality and headroom.

I can't see how you would have trouble balancing the front and surround levels with your pre amp. If you are able to balance them now going through the Elites built in amps, you should be able to going through an XPA-5. All 5 channels of the XPA-5 have the same 32db gain, just as all channels in your Elites amp section would have the same gain.
I just bought the new XPA-5 and EmoCable to drive my old Bose 901's in my 15-yr. old's sons room. That is probably overkill, but the 901's are on their last legs and better speakers will follow. (And no, I'm not adopting, my three older girls are in college )
You might question this, but the idea is to make our home a destination and keep my son and his friends here instead of "out there" where it is easier to get into trouble.

I think that is the operative statement here. If you enjoy your music and movies loud, you should go with an XPA-5 in your situation. That way you won't have to worry about overheating your Pioneer Elite or ever running out pf power. You're far more likely to blow a speaker driver with too little power rather than too much.

XPA-5 , XPA-3, or UPA-7 ? « Result #20 Yesterday at 10:49pm »
Hello to all,
I am new to the Emotiva forum and extremelly happy that I found this company. I have been going through the forum and can't wait to be a fellow Emo owner !
I will be soon buying an Emo amp to upgrade my Home Theatre and would like to get your recommendations on which Emo amp I should choose.
Here is my current set-up: it is 5.1 and I will not be going to 7.1
AVR: Pioneer Elite VSX-84 (7 x 140watts)
Fronts: Tannoy D80 2 x 8 inch woofers with dual concentric tweeters. Power rating: 300 watts Sensitivity: 91db 6 Ohms 35hz - 30KHZ
Center: Definitive Technology CLR 1000 2 x 6.5 midrange + 1 inch tweeter 8ohms 15-400 watts
Surrounds: TruAudio in-ceiling revolve 8.1 8 inch woofer with 2 x 1 inch tweeters: 92db sensitivity 8 Ohms 15-150 watts power
Sub: Paradgm PW-2400 sub
I use the system for movies, music and concert-dvd's/BD's. I love to listen at very, very loud levels. To put in perspective, when I am watching a U2 DVD concert in 5.1 Digital, the Elite is at the +5 volume level, where the max is +12. ( After using the auto-calibration feature, the Elite puts my front 3 to -3db and my srounds to -5db)
The Elite runs very, very hot after watching one of my concerts.
I am very excited to add an external amp but can't seem to decide between the XPA 5, XPA 3 or UPA 7 (to passively bi-amp the towers).
I originally was going to go with the XPA 3 for the front and drive the 2 surrounds off the Elite, as I thought that feeding my surrounds 200 watts each would be too much for them to handle and that the system would not be able to balance itself. ( they are already at -5db using the Elite internal amp, and it maxes out at -10db)
But after reading many posts I am a little confused as to what would be the best upgrade to my system.
So is it the XPA 3, the XPA 5 or are those too powerfull for my equipment and the UPA 7 is perfect ?

You are correct. The USP-1 does not have treble or bass trim adjustment. In my 45 years in this hobby, I have yet to find a simple tone adjustment that could do justice to the content of the musical tones being modified. Every time I would try to use those type of controls I ended up going back to normal settings. It was like trying to repair a fine pocket watch with a claw hammer and a pipe wrench. They are just too crude in the frequencies that they impact. There are much better ways to achieve the modifications these tone controls attempt to fix.

Unfortunately for my house, the only doors are on bedrooms, bathrooms, the pantry, and the laundry room. So, the cats can wander all over. And, in addition to trying to warm themselves on my amps/etc, they do want to chew on cables. In a bit of mixed emotions, the one that chewed most died a couple years ago (natural causes...~17 yrs. old), but the younger ones may pick up the habit.
At least I figured out a stereo stand setup that prevents all but the new kitten to get into warming position.
And, while on the topic of cats...I wonder if a spray of "odor of wet dog" might keep them away from cables and such...

Re: Rebuilding old speakers « Result #25 Yesterday at 10:25pm »
Will do shortly. For now, I am back in search of tweeters. After further review by the replay officials, one tweeter has gone away. It didn't seem like it at first - the tweeters and mids are physically very close together and these mids seem to play pretty high frequencies. Until I hooked it all up and listened very closely, I could not tell it was missing. I even had to unfasten the tweeter, pull out the wires to move it away from the mid & listen to tell it was not playing.
So, I have a message into Mirage and various other sources looking for a replacement.

Re: Should I go with SVS or Paradigm « Result #38 Yesterday at 9:07pm »
Well then, That's helpful information.
I'd probably steer you to mid to high power ported (But adjustable - subs) Although I don't have much experience with the SVS's, I do with the value priced Paradigm's and I think they sound terrible. I use the word flabby bass and the ability to hit the woofers stops was far too easy to achieve. The Ultracube is not a value range Paradigm but it may not be the best single unit HT sub. I believe Paradigm often recommends two of the little guys.
The kit speakers everyone is talking about here, the cabinetry looks pretty tough to handle in ones living room. I suppose if you are a master finisher, that's not an issue but I am a ham with tools, paint, and craftmanship in general. Others can attest to sound quality but they appear to be purpose designed for HT use.
So, my two cents is go with a mid priced ported SVS. It may cost a bit more than the kit options but you don't have to fuss with cabinet quality and you can "stick em out there" and be happy. The ultra you mentioned, I hear is quite large but if you like theater reference level bass and the ability to tone it down for music with porting options, the SVS is more flexible and goes lower on the Hz's. The ultracube probably won't compete on sound volume.
Again, you could go with some of the cheaper options provided but you won't get the same cabinet quality and most likely amp quality as the SVS. I don't care what anyone says, it is hard to make a beautiful cabinet for a couple hundred bucks. There is no way to then add great amplification, solid electronics, and good flexibility for a few hundred more. My recommendation.... Buy it once, buy it right.
One other thought, you could take the money you would be using and look on-line for a used Sub for less price. As I said, I picked up an older B&W ASW2500 for far less than the SVS (Half as much). You could get a newer B&W 675, which would compare favorably to the ultracube for not much more or pick up a discontinued Paradigm 2200 and get a more powerful HT sub that would compare with the SVS Ultra 12. E-Bay and Audiogon can be your friend if you are willing to take a little risk.
Anyway, your questions tell me ported, mid size, fast, and well finished sub. If you go even more movie/HT blast-o-thon-ish, perhaps two subs instead of one.... Why not get the SVS and pine for another in the future. The SVS guys are pretty loyal to their subs so you may struggle to pry a used one away from somebody in the future....
Good luck and if anyone thinks this idiot (that would be me) is off base hear go ahead and say what you need rto say....
A closed box designed speaker uses its own enclosure for its main tuning characteristics, an open/infinite baffle design speaker like the maggie uses the ROOM for its enclosure literally and for its main tuning characteristics
ALL speakers rely on room interaction. The only difference in that regard between the magnepan design and a conventional box speaker is what happens to the rear sound wave from the drivers.
You have quite a bit to learn. I honestly suggest you do a search on open baffle full range dipole speakers and how critical room size and placement is for them in relationship to their overall response compared to a traditional front radiating box speaker.
But to give a simple explanation, a traditional box speakers PRIMARY loading and response for the enclosed drivers is the box itself. THe room is the secondary loader.
But with open baffle style speakers like the maggies, the room itself is the PRIMARY loader. The room itself IS the enclosure literally.

Do I need to Upgrade??? « Result #44 Yesterday at 8:10pm »
Hello forum, I am new here but have been following the Emotiva products for a while becoming more and more interested as time goes by. Anyway I am and have been into audio gear for about 25 years now and I finally have a system put together that I think sounds pretty good but lately I have been thinking of upgrading my amps and also adding a audio streaming device such as the Sonos or Logitec kit.
The question is do I need to upgrade my amps or not.
My system is as follows:
Yamaha RX-V2800 Reciever powers center & surrounds Sony SCD-C2000ES CD Player Panasonic BR Player Nad C372 used as power amp to power front speakers (150watts/ch) Nad C272 bridged(400watts) to power 16" Soundersplinter sonosub Front speakers - PSB Stratus Goldi's Center - Energy Reference Connoisseur 3 way RC-LCR Surrounds - Energy Reference Connoisseur RC-R Sub - DIY 16" Soundsplinter sonosub (260 Liters tuned to 15Hz)
The NAD C372 as mentioned above powers the front Goldi's which by the way for those who don't know these speakers are very power hungry. I am happy with the sound but some times, particularly when playing DVD concerts or listening to 2 channel music I would like a little more power to the whole system. My concern is that I will purchase the Emotiva amp (XPA-5) only to find that it is not as good or just barely exceeds my currrent setup. If I do decide to go with the XPA-5 there is also the question if the power increase will then be to much for the current power I am sending to the Sub (400 watts) which drives it really well right now.
Anyway, sorry for being long winded but any advice would be appreciated.

Needless to say, I got on the pre-order list in late 2008, so I know I am not in the first group or two of shipments. But for those that think they should be and do not see the email, check the junk folder just in case.
