I am also considering getting some XPA-1L's. I currently run my L/C/R off an XPA-3 (Gen 1), but I am looking at upgrading my speakers to a brand/model that is spec'd to 400W max power level. Seems the XPA-1L's are on clearance, to make way for newer version; anyone have any idea what difference(s) the Gen 2 might have? Is it worth waiting for the new version or just grabbing the Gen 1 at the quite nice price? Quick Referance ,,,,My wife won't bet me on anything because I don't gamble! The XPA-1Ls are not a gamble, their a clear winner! At the performance and price point I'll bet anyone to come up with a better deal then these amps,,,,,,, I double dog dare Ya!!!
Any takers? I doubt it!!!

Buy an eclub membership, call in to get the warehouse deal for the XPA-1L. They are a steal @ $780

I forgot to mention one additional spec in my last post. I've been researching for the past 10 minutes trying to find confirmation, but haven't had success yet. I will probably send an e-mail to Emotiva. The XPA-2 has 12 output devices per channel (at least the Gen1 model did). I could have sworn the XPA-1L had more. The number "18" seems to flash in my head for some reason, but I cannot locate a source for that. I'll double-check with Emotiva and report back. If this is true (and I'm pretty sure the XPA-1L has more output devices than the XPA-2, whatever that number ends up being), this is another advantage for the 1L: more current, better control, etc. In the photo on the website it looks like 16. I just checked out the photo and you may be right about that. It certainly looks that way. In any case, I've inquired about that via e-mail along with one other thing. Just as a follow-up to my previous posts, I've received confirmation from Emotiva about my questions: The XPA-2 Gen2 has 12 output devices per channel (just like Gen1) The XPA-1L has 16 output devices per channel

Ordered two factory renewed units. Nick sent me a personal quote. Couldn't resist the price. $ 399 each with 5 year warranty. Fantastic
