Just wired up my new xpa-2/xsp-1 gear to my Goldenear Triton 2's. A little stark right out of the box on day 1, so I ran looped pink noise all day and night through an old pair of Stax SR44 electret headphones hooked directly into the speaker outputs. I only had an hour last night for any critical listening, but I could hear things were starting to smooth out nicely. I listened to Holst's "The Planets" and was extremely pleased with what I was hearing....huge sound stage, 3D imaging, shimmering highs and very extended and tightly "moored" bass. I easily heard things I wasn't hearing through my McIntosh separates. The Emotiva separates had a slightly more forward quality and I am completely in love them! I am 58 and told my wife this could be the last electronics I ever purchase, and I believe I can finally keep that promise. Time to mine my cd/lp collection...time for some hard rock!!
