Buenos Dias gente,
New member here from San Antonio. Just ordered an XPA-2 and a USP-1. Will be driving a set of old dbx Soundfield 1A's or if that won't do it a pair of Norman Model 9s. Inputs will be an old Garrard zero-100 a Pure I-20 DAC and an old Sony 300 disc jukebox.
I've never had any headroom in any of my old vintage gear and figured for the price of admission and the guarantee you can't really go wrong. I'm really looking forward to getting everything here and connected. Low volume levels and lots of headroom? What a concept ;D

If you aren't positively amazed - just send it back. My prediction is that once you hear the Emotiva gear, you won't want to let it go! :-)

Good quality-built, well-designed gear with excellent performance specs does not require any kool-aid. Science is science.  Congrats on your purchase. |

I haven't heard your speakers but don't worry about headroom - at least in terms of the amp...I predict you will be pleased |

Thanks for the warm welcome, y'all (I'm originally from Nashville) I'll see if I can dig up some pics of the Normans as I have them stored in the back of the closet. The dbx's? Sure, tomorrow |

Very close. Mine are from the late 70's, they have different Phillip tweeters, MDF fronts instead and the glass top that goes where the felt is on top of the ones pictured. |
