I remember me hitting the floor when I heard my Vienna Acoustic Mozart Grand front speakers powered by the XPA-1's I purchased. I think I was at the 2 - 3 LED flashing stage on the amp.
Actually, it didn't sound that bad from down there, either!

So yeah - as the days and weeks go on, I have to say I love having everysingle piece of musical media whether in Itunes(wavs) or my record collection feel like I'm listening to it for the first time. After reading all the XSP-1 reviews and seeing the same thing written I cant wait to cause that feeling again, but for now, simply loving thew USP-1's phono stage, and stunned at hearing other two channel feeds into the USP-1 from my various DACS. I had compared all these feeds MANY MANY times before but the USP-1 reveals things and opens up things that I wasnt able to discern when just going through my trusty old denon AVR (or via carver C1 pro, or through my mackie studio monitors.

... Track 1 of Robbie Robertson Music for the native Americans.....with my sub off.....just the mmgs. Speechless. I had no idea my MMG's could do that amazing low mid bass magnepan sound. jaw on floor, this isnt possible. The depth to the soundstage that I have is now WAY beyond my front screen wall. I did not expect that to be improved so dramatically. *Great* demo track, by the way.

I, too, am waiting for the XPA-1L! Me too brother... I don't know if I have the balls to simply order it when it comes out, or wait for some reviews. I've always been intrigued with the Pass Labs class AB amps that hold class A power a reasonable distance into the power band. However, I confess I have no direct experience with class A. Further, I've always had stereo or multichannel amps. Combined, these two features really make me interested in the XPA-1L.
