I feel that a XPA-7 would be more welcome from a performance/price/shelf space/power requirements/customer demand perspective. Remove performance from the formula and then you're onto something. Audiophiles who desire high powered amps are not likely to drive mini-vans. Think Porsche 911 Twin Turbo, Nissan GTR, Corvette ZR1. These folks are not interested in getting there. But how you get there. High powered audiophiles are not interested in good enough for the job. They simply demand what represents the best affordable amp there is. The XPA-7 (200 wpc) cannot compete with the XPR-5 or XPR-7 if one is ever built ;D I meant a more optimal combination of all those factors and not just the one factor of pure performance. I would have rather seen Emotiva come out with a XPR-2 and a XPA-7 first. I really wonder how the mammoth XPR-5 will sell? |

It's sad but there's simply very few people that have a good quality 7.1 system to really even need those amps. So there's not as much demand in this area.

The HT market as a whole is still quite young. I'd think that there isn't demand in the market for a $20,000-$30,000 surround processor..... but there is. |

The transformer in that thing is as big around as a good size pizza. We just ate a good sized pizza, thats pretty dang big! this is from a thread about the XPR-7 and thats the transformer hes talking about!! Edit; I read allot of history, lest we forget!! And not learn the lesson , we are destined to repeat it!!  |
