I have always been interested in Emotiva gear and after a XPA-2 popped up locally on CL I took the leap. Powering a pair of SDA-1C and the rest of the chain is a Denon DRA-397 and Squeezebox Touch.
My first time doing seperates and I happy I did. Right away I noticed more bottom end with a overall cleaner sound.
Question for owners. I really didn't realize how huge this thing is and wasn't able to fit it in my TV stand so it sitting next to it. Does anyone have a recommendation on a stand for it? Not looking to break the bank.

Congrats, and welcome to the Lounge! I love my XPA-2, it's a wonderful amp. Check out Sanus for a rack.

If you need a stand-alone amplifier stand that looks good & won't break the bank, consider a plant stand like these:  They're inexpensive, designed to bear a lot of weight, and are reasonably attractive. |

I wasn't aware of a special XPA-2 club :-)
And yes, the XPA-2 has some dimension and weight, but all for the better sound.
I designed a cabinet and it is custom made. Especially the depth of the cabinet is important to fit the amp. I should be ready before the end of this month. Unfortunately custom build things don't come cheap.
A plant stand will work too, maybe consider one with wheels.
