emotiva.com/whats-new/classic-high-end-meets-contemporary-emotiva-ces-2016-lineup-includes-highly-configurableFRANKLIN, TN, December 8, 2015—Emotiva Audio Corporation, the company that continually proves high-end audio doesn’t have be high-priced, will debut at CES 2016 the most ambitious multi-line launch in the company’s history.
In addition to the Emersa line of lifestyle focused performance audio gear (see separate release), Emotiva will introduce the configurable XPA Gen 3 amplifier line, and a smart expansion of the Airmotiv™ speaker line using its trademark folded ribbon tweeters.
“We believe the unmet demand in consumer electronics today calls for products that offer audiophile performance at highly affordable prices,” says Dan Laufman, Founder and President of Emotiva. “Our CES 2016 introductions – the Emersa line, XPA Gen 3 amplifiers, and new Airmotiv speakers – demonstrate our belief in the potential of this segment. Emotiva’s ability to redefine multiple market segments at once, and to deliver with superior manufacturing capability, are bringing about an era of the affordable audiophile.”
XPA Gen 3 Amplifiers
Appealing to the bespoke demands of the audiophile market, the XPA Gen 3 is all about personalization and configurability.
XPA Gen 3 is a custom-tailored component that can be endlessly tailored to individual systems – the opposite of “off-the-shelf.” It’s a reference-level audio amplifier ideal for everything from a single subwoofer, to a stereo playback system, or a complete home theater. Its unique, modular, assembled-in-the-USA architecture, means it can grow with system needs.
The XPA Gen 3 is a significant step above the Gen 2 line. Using Emotiva’s lauded XPR amplifier topology for superior sonics, and designed with highly flexible modularity, the XPA Gen 3 accommodates 1 to 7 channels, multiple power levels, and is ideal for applications from from reference stereo to surround sound.
All XPA Gen 3 amplifiers share the same chassis and power supply; fully modular construction means that any XPA G3 amp can be upgraded by up to seven channels at another time. Each channel combines Emotiva’s differential input, fully complementary, short signal path Class A/B amplifier circuitry, and Optimized Class H™ power topology, to deliver both true audiophile sound quality and high efficiency.
Emotiva’s new high performance universal switching power supply delivers exceptional efficiency and excellent low noise performance, automatically adapting to any line voltage between 100V and 250V, and reducing overall system weight for easier handling and installation. XPA Gen 3 can be configured from two channels (350 watts/channel into 8 ohms) up to seven channels (250 watts/channel into 8 ohms). Suggested retail prices are as follows.
XPA-2: $999
XPA-3: $1,119
XPA-4: $1,399
XPA-5: $1,599
XPA-6: $1,799
XPA-7: $1,999

Just saying....
I am glad I posted it. 
There is a lot of good info that many here may not have noticed. I really thought that CES was the time for info to go out to Consumers. Emotiva is no longer just a Internet Direct seller. I hope that Commercial Media got lots of info at Emotiva's CES 2016 booth and that info goes out to the Consumers that do not visit Emotiva's site and here.
