Well I have just ordered an XSP-1 and 2 XPA-1L's. So I guess I am leaping into the Emotiva gene pool. I have a pair of Tekton Seas Pendragons, older Rotel CD player, Pro-Ject Debut Carbon to access my vinyl. This gear will replace and older Adcom GFA535 amp and GFA540 pre. I have been looking long and hard for a amp / preamp combo. All of the stuff I liked, Unison 100, Bryston 3B SST, etc costs at least double or triple what this stuff costs with no phonstage etc. One thing I have certainly learned in my quest for a new amp is that there are huge sound differences between amps!. I like neutral sounding gear so I am confident that this will meet and hopefully exceed my expectations. The Tektons are highly efficient so the amps should be able to run in pure class A 99% of the time. Basically, the only thing I will be missing is a good DAC. I intend to build my own music server based around a laptop running JRiver 18 and a NAS. Now it is time to sit back a wait patiently for the FedEx shipping notice. Waiting is not my specialty. ;D

bruinsguy? Not a Flames, or Oilers guy? Welcome to the site. +1 on JRMC 18. Great program. I use JRMC with a combination of DNLA and NAS drives via a Yamaha AVR, and Oppo and Bryston media players.

Welcome aboard! Your new equipment is now "Alberta Bound", (as Gordon Lightfoot would say! ).
