Thanks samuel. I was close to ordering the upa-7 but thought what the heck start with the xpa-5 and maybe later add the xpa-2 for the L/R. Glad your happy it makes me feel better about the purchase. [img src=" ![]() i849.photobucket.com/albums/ab58/plaz_photos/IMG00024-20091203-1604-1.jpg"][/img]

I got my xpa-5 yesterday. The fedex man said, "this sucker is so heavy". I installed it late last night. Did not have a long time listening to it since family was home, but so far the sound is very clear and precise. Listened to Norah jones  was great. The quality of the amp is better than what I was expecting. Pics on the web don't do justice. I had a hard time taking (pulling) the amp out of the box due its weight . tnt |

Well, finally I'm getting back to write something about my first emo purchase an XPA-5! All I can say is that I must have loved it because since then I have purchased a Erc-1 and a Usp-1. I personally never wanted to play or listen to music at home except the occassional concert feeds. I have to say now or admit that I went from 95% HT to probably HT 60/40 2 ch. I just cannot stop playing 2 channel music whenever home now with a definite smile on my face. So now where am I at you might ask. Well a Xpa-2 tracking # was sent out 2/12/10. I have went hogwild, crazy, reckless and abandon and verging on broke?  I just have to say that the Erc1 and Usp1 combo works very well together and I cant wait to add the Xpa-2  If I had one compliant or observation is that after adding the xpa-5 I truly find the sound field almost over powering my 58 in plasma tv and you know what that could mean  Man when will it ever end? One grateful and satisfied customer

It was the most surprising, shipping February 15 (TN), arrives February 19 (MEXICO), it is surprising to see the XPA5, was accustomed to seeing PMPO power appliances, will it be real that has 200W RMS per channel?. Once unpacked I could only say great shopping make  |
