Just got my USP-1. Well, I have been having fun with the UPA=1's and was waiting to see how the preamp works with those speakers.
All I can say is wow. It's a full rich sound that sucks you in. Voices carry so much emotion now, its not an exageration that I will be rediscovering my music collection.
Im a very very happy audiophile. ;D

Congrats on the USP-1! What made you get it and not wait for the XSP-1? I'm dealing with that now myself.
Best Regards,
Stan

After the USP-1, the XSP-1 can be next. After all many of us have more than one room where we can enjoy our music! ;D The combination of build quality, performance and price makes Emotiva a best choice for me.  |

I imagine the XSP-1 would have made sense for me if I had the XPA-1 monoblocks. At the end of the day, I am quite happy. Just listened to Radiohead "The Bends" and it has never sounded better. |

The biggest difference between the USP and the XSP is in features and the XLR connectors on the XSP... not in sound quality. Good point. I wish that Emotiva would come-out and say what the feature set of the XSP will be. I have heard (on this board) all sorts of things. Some of which says that the sound quality will be much better. Thanks, Stan |

I thought one of the differences was that the XSP would be able to do HT bypass with the speakers set to full range.

navman...good call on the USP-1. It is a very fine preamp. I rediscovered a lot of music after I got it.
