Had a guy call me the other day saying one of the XPR amps was singing like Aretha Franklin. ;D He doesn't like Aretha? May have been singing R.E.S.P.E.C.T ;D Sorry

Ok Darkranger since you asked for my opinion, i'm sad to say not all is well over here. Ok they sound great! That's a good thing. I really hate to say this because i love this company and these amps sound great but i like my XPA-1's better. Probably because i still have issues with these 1'ls. Ok here it comes i could not believe my ears when i hooked up the pair of 1l's i have espesially after hearing nothing negative from you or others, and once again i hate to say this but my pair STILL squeel just like the last 2 times i had them, however it's for only about ten seconds long on each amp! Damn was i dissapointed when i turned them on and heard that! I don't know what i'm going to do yet but i guess i just might live with it unless it becomes worse. Sorry to report that but it is what it is. I'll review more another day but they sound pretty darn good, but so do my xpa-1's and they don't squeel for the first ten seconds when turned on.

Dang man, you got some bad luck. Thankfully those XPA's are running strong, especially as it was my @$$ on the line for them Trade you some speakers for those 1L's?!?

Your model may not have been fixed correctly. Send that darn thing back for repairs. Also post a recording of the sound if you can and include it in the email for the RMA. Also Lonnie said that the fixed amplifiers have better specifications so hanging onto the current ones you are losing on sound quality. Plus they may need to work on some more issues if yours was truly fixed and it would probably help all other owners of the xpa-1 L as well.

This is truly both comical and disheartening at the same time. In 2 weeks I will either be ordering the XPA-2 or XPA-1L to replace an XPA-3. I am really trying to justify these 1Ls now that they are being shipped this week. It seems there may be another issue abound?
Ultimately I'm looking for the more higher power and quality solution. At this point, and almost double the price, the 1Ls are fading from the running...

Why on earth would he hang onto squealing 1Ls when he says that he likes the sound of the 1s better? Send the amps back and be done with it. If he needs 4 amps, maybe Emo will cut him a break and swap him some new 1s just to set things right...

I'm doing more testing first before i call, and it would be great to exchange these for xpa1's as long as it don't cost me extra! This stinks! If i turn them off after using them then turn them back on while warm they don't squeal. They only sequel for the first ten seconds when starting cold.

Does it make a difference if the mode switch is in Class A/B or Class A?

I only tested in class a mode so far. I'll do more testing and give a conclusion tomorrow. I want to check for all possibilities. I need to let the amps cool down first then i'll switch to class a/b and turn them on from a cold start i'll report back but that won't be until later in the day.

More testing and then a call seems like a good plan, knee jerk suggestions don't help.

Are you running the XPA-1L straight from the wall outlet? Lonnie posted that a user called in complaining the amps still squeel after getting them back with the "fix". Lonnie said that after lots of trouble shooting he discovered the owner had the amps plugged into a power conditioner with high current outlets and after removing the power cords from the power conditioner and plugging them directly into a wall outlet the squeeling went away. It was the power conditioner that was causing the problem.

It looks like it is plugged into a power conditioner in his signature. Try going direct to the wall on all your components to completely eliminate the possibility of any interference.

Something is not right here. The original issue was due to a ground issue that caused an internal loop during start up. But every amp has been taken care of and tested so this is bothering me and I want to get to the bottom of it. I was reading through your sig and you have a lot of gear. Please do me a favor and drop me an email explaining how everything is wired up and what connects to what. Thanks,
