I purchased a gen 1 XPA-3 just before the gen 2 XPA amps came out. Now I'm wondering if I'm going to be able to combine future XPA amps with my gen 1 XPA-3, or if the different gain is going to cause discrepencies between the sets of speakers on the two different lines.

Some have found success with adjusting the output level on their preamps to compensate for the gain difference. That didn't do it for me. I still heard a difference in the gain, just starting at a lower or higher level.
If you have any old amps lying around with a different gain, you may want to try and see if your sensitive to it.

i'm worried about that too. I'm currently in the band wagon to wait for the xpa-1 gen 2 I was hoping that it plays well with my Xpa-5 gen 1. But i guess that's not the case anymore  |

In a multichannel system with the ability to adjust each channel for gain, speaker efficiency, and position, I don't see how this would normally be a problem (most processors have this ability). If your speakers are very efficient you might hear the difference in background noise. |

Chibana- only an issue if you're going to biamp. Otherwise, a non issue.

Been a while since I checked the community. Thanks for the answers. Now I don't have to worry about starting over by trading in.
