Hey guys, i have my XPA-3 Gen 3 for about 4 weeks now, i never had older gen of XPA so i cant compare, but i have pair of SA-250s, SA-250 sounds crazy good, so much details, sound is clean and detailed, XPA sounds pretty close,very clean, bass is very tight and punchy, i personally love how it sounds and both SA-250 and XPA gen3 dont even get warm, they just stay totally cool, Here are some pictures i have of them www.blu-ray.com/community/gallery.php?member=gecka78&folderid=1454#162793

Beautiful set up. Those JBL's look awesome, especially in your set up? I had my eye on a similar model recently. Very nice....and impressive!
thanks, i love those speakers, i use to have all setup of JBL studio L and was very happy how they sounded, but these speakers are totally another level, i never heard any sperakers before sounded like them, especially big ones 590s, sound just unbelievable, i dont know what they did with them but they are sound really really good, but JBL made them for a limited time only, they are discontinue them, JBL web already removed 590 (the bigest ones)

We should start an SA-250 club. Only for owners of 2 or more SA-250's. Beautiful sounding amp.
I personally prefer SA-250 over gen 3, but this XPA gen3 amp does sound very close, I was nervous when I was ordering, I was thinking to get another SA-250 but I needed amp for 3 channels( center and surround speakers), so I decided try this new amp and have no regret , I love the sound coming from both these amps
So here's a question to the owners of a gen3.. I purchased one yesterday and am waiting for it to be built, that is a good feeling BTW. My question is this: is anyone running it from a mid-higher end avr? Specifically Denon/Marantz. Is the output voltage sufficient? AVR-X4200w in my case.
