Any word on a release date for the GEN2 XPA-1L's
I'm keen to upgrade my 2ch kit from ERC-1/USP-1 (XPA-5) to the XSP-1 G2 and ERC-3. Toying with adding the XPA-1L's to power the L/R mains with the XPA-5 running the other speakers in HT duty.

I'm not sure how you are holding back on the current price of the 1L's  , you could always ask about gen2 trim to mach the other gear ?, FYI they won't be available until the Gen 1's sell out. Chad |

You gotta be kidding me! $499 for the XPA-1L plus a 10% discount for e-club members?! That's pure unadulterated theft!!  Man, if I didn't already have 3 of these amps I'd be all over this deal. No wait, I would have already bought them during the last 20% off e-club sale. No wait, I would have bought them during the last Holiday Sale 2013. No wait...   My guess on the Gen2 release date is whenever they empty their stock of Gen1 stuff, hence the sale. I doubt you'll get much more than a cosmetic update, but I totally understand wanting to wait for the "new" version. |

Any clue what the differences between the Gen1 and Gen2 1L's will be?

OMG! The new prices remind me of Crazy Eddie...  I just picked up a pair of XPA-1Ls, and I have been enjoying them so much that I am tempted to pick up another one, on principle, for my center channel speaker, although my XPA-5 is already doing a hell of a job driving that, and I do not need it. What I do need is help!... help to restrain my trigger finger, help from all the gods of resistance and discipline in the land of abstinence and self-control... Don't do it... Don't do it... arrrrgh! Don't... don't....  |

Any clue what the differences between the Gen1 and Gen2 1L's will be? Based on other Gen2 products, the updated XPA-1L will sport Gen2 cosmetics throughout. Minor circuitry enhancements are possible, but I wouldn't bank on that one until it's released.

My 3 XPA-1L amps for LCR make me smile every time I listen. Here, have another hit.  |

Maybe an A A/B mode indicator LED? Only if it's fully dimmable *.  That would be kinda cool, although as far as I know the XPA-1 Gen2 doesn't have an indicator LED. I doubt the XPA-1L Gen2 would, although I've been wrong before. Wait. Did I just say I have been "wrong" on the Internet?  * I am not a card-carrying member of the No Moar Bleu Lites organization and I do not approve this message. |

Well they are on my radar right now. May pull the trigger today.
When are the next regular sale periods coming up??? Thinking for purchasing the XSP/ERC as I have to split shipments to Australia to stay under the $1000 mark to avoid GST taxes.

They really aren't having regular sales anymore. The price on the xpa1l is really good. As I remember it the XPA-1l was the last gen 1 amp to come out. Just after it's release gen 2 was announced and a comment from Dan or Lonnie said that the XPA-1l was a gen 2 in gen 1 clothing. Well worth buying at the sale price.
I wish that I could be buying a pair right now.

You can join E-Club for $49 (membership for 1 year), and then get at least 10% off year-round. |

Yes happy to pay for the XPA-1L now at the current sale price and I do have e-club also.
Was just looking at the XSP/ERC to purchase later (perhaps on sale so I can split shipments.
I'll have to order each of those separately also to avoid taxes.
