I don't know about the XPR-2, but in the latest podcast Cathy said they (XPA-100/200) will be in stock on September 15.

Per several Emotiva staff members Sunday, the XPA-100 and XPA-200 are the successors to the UPA-1 and UPA-2 respectfully.
The new products were given the "X" moniker because...
1. At the heart, the UPA-1 and UPA-2 borrowed heavily and liberally from their larger XPA-* brothers anyway
2. The improvements made to the new products clearly puts them in a class above the present UPA series
The specs will be similar to or (slightly) exceed those products.
For example: the UPA-1 spec'd 200W into 8 Ohms, 300w into 4 Ohms - the XPA-100 was said to have 225W into 8 Ohms.

This is exactly the type of information I was looking to hear. Thanks for the report.  |

Any info on the connectors they would have (XLR?) I did not turn the stack of XPA-100 and XPA-200 amps around and look to see what kind of connections they had. But I assume that like the UPA-1, the XPA-100 does have XLR inputs. And I suspect that the one of the 'improvements' made in the XPA-200 is the addition of XLR inputs since all "x" series components have them. Again, this is what I (strongly) suspect. Maybe someone can confirm the latter. Since this thread talks about the XPR series too, yes they had XLR inputs and big "jeweled" type speaker connections. All top of the line connections. |
