Anyone know why Emotiva is getting rid of the XPA-1L and what is coming to replace it?

I called and asked Emotiva and they said the partner accidently let the cat out of the bag too early...So the website price has changed but the google ad is still up! if you google Emotiva XPA-2 it will come up in the (R) ad space....Looks like were 2 weeks out!

One of the problems of having distributors. Price war between them can be another problem because it can affect the brand. They will need to have strict control on MAP

Have your first drink of Emo Koolaid on me,,,,,,  Edit; Try going to Home at the left top, then scroll down to General and pick a topic. After selecting topic, the next page should have Create Thread in the top right hand corner. good luck |

Why are they clearing these items? To make room for all the Class D amps coming!
Thats why.

I started out in this 'hobby' when tubes were the standard. I put up with having to trudge off to the local electronics store (Radio Shack) when my Sansui 500A receiver with 19 tubes decided to go on the fritz. Each 'trudge' cost me $3-6 depending on the tube - going through all my tubes one at a time at the tester was tedious - I hated tubes then and haven't changed my mind about them. I had to replace one of the output tubes (7189 IIRC) one time and it convinced me that if I could ever afford solid state gear I would never go back to tubes. Those were $15 each back then! Back when my hourly pay was $2.90 hr. Today those 7189A tubes are worth a few oz of silver - matched pairs are gold prices! I've yet to break that vow - I doubt I ever will unless its a nice 5 tube kitchen table tube radio. And I've yet to see one that entices me. Sangean makes a nice one - its transistor powered. So does Tivoli. |

I have 3 XPA-1L's in my 7.1 theater today and am seriously contemplating selling my XPA-5 Gen 2 and ordering 4 more XPA-1L's in its place.
I love my XPA-1L's
I have several items sitting around that I could sell to nearly offset the cost giving me class A to all speakers at lower volumes, tons of flexibility, and tons of power.
XPA-5 Gen 2
UPA-700
UPA-200
6 sets of NIB UAW 6.2

Just to set that to rest - We will not be going "all Class D" any time soon  Why are they clearing these items? To make room for all the Class D amps coming! Thats why. I'd be quite surprised at them going that route. |
