To what wattage do each of the XPA Amplifier models operate Class A?

With the exception of the XPA-1 and 1L less than one watt.

Well that's no fun. I'm really curious about the 1L and I think I need to order a pair to try it out and see if I like Class A operation with MMGs in my room.
If the 1L is like the XPA-2 when it comes to lower volume listening (86-90db), then I should be in for a real treat. The XPA-2 lets me listen to my MMGs at much lower volume level and keep all of the detail and dynamics.

Knowing how power hungry Magnepan speakers are, I seriously doubt that you'll be able to run them Class A. Still think that the XPA-1l would be great for them.

If it is left of center and not really moving, Class -A. Right of center and normally bouncing at this point A/B. Just FYI your dream amp is for sale as I am down sizing for wife staying home with baby. |
