Hi I just joined the darkside. I don't know if this is the right place to post but I have been looking for along time at these amps. I am going to pull the trigger soon. What's the best for me do you guys think. The majority is for home theater and I listen loud. Thanks
My system all definitive technology
Marantz 6003
Fronts- BP7002
Center- CLR3000
Side- BPVX
Rear- BPVX
Sub- Velodyne CHT

Just looking at your mains, I will suggest you go with the new Generation 3 XPA amplifiers.
Definitive Technology BP7002
Floor-standing Bipolar SuperTower Loudspeaker with Built-in Powered Subwoofer
Maximum Sensitivity
Super Tower 92 dB
Total Frequency Response
Super Tower 15 Hz - 30 kHz
Nominal Impedance
Super Tower 8 ohm
Crossover
A/V Receiver Crossover Setting Large; Full Bandwidth
Power Handling 20 - 400 watts per channel
Heads up
This thread is in the Preamps/DAC section and a Moderator may move it.

Where should I have put it thanks also the new amps only push 200 watts I was looking last night is that enough for 400w speaker |

I say yes 200 is sufficient. Enjoy! |

Where should I have put it thanks also the new amps only push 200 watts I was looking last night is that enough for 400w speaker Both you mains BP7002 and you center have CLR3000 have a built-in Powered Subwoofer. The mains have four 5" drivers and the center has two 6" drivers. The XPA amps will provide all the energy required to create the dynamics you would want to keep up with the built-in powered subwoofers. The XPA amplifiers are truly power houses and many have posted that they dig deep and power much larger and less efficient speakers than yours. Even the fact you like loud, you will not be able to over tax the XPA's. The reason you need the power is for just peak signal moments that happen very quickly and very seldom. You could easily use the BasX amplifiers and get loud volumes but having the extra headroom from the XPA amps when your pushing your system is where you should go with such dynamic mains and center. |

The new xpa3 it is its looking like 7channel setup should drive them more then twice as good as the Marantz I'm thinking. Maybe pair that with the processor keep it all emotiva? Would I gain anything over using the Marantz thanks |

Would I gain anything over using the Marantz thanks The XMC-1 ? Yes Audio Video receivers do not deliver the same audio quality as the XMC-1. It is a dedicated preamplifier and processor where more attention is given to the analog signal. The Dirac room correction installed is about only available with the most costly of gear that makes the XMC-1 a bargain $2500. You may be one that does not need room correction but the comments I have read about the results of Dirac speak loudly that it may be the best game in town. You may want to wait until the XMC-1 ships with the new HDMI 2.0 boards. They may already be shipping with them but specs on the product page still say 1.4 |

Also if your not aware, the Gen 3 XPA amplifiers will soon have alternative power modules. Single 2 X 75 watts and double 600 watt is all we have been told about.
