All this "made in China" bashing is down right funny. Just because a company "assembles" your unit in America or the UK, doesn't mean it was made there!! Facts are most of these high end units have their parts manufactured in China and shipped back to where ever for assembly. Those of you who doubt, open up your cases and be amazed....made in china stamped all over the place. IMO
this is very interesting , i am running a pioneer sc-lx83 and to be frank , i dont like the way it sounds for music , specially when it comes to my taste in music , its perfect for acoustics but not for electro , this emotiva got me interested the XPA-5 with UMC-1 , would love to hear how that will sound tho too bad the UMC-1 dont support 3D via HDMI =(
To use the Emotiva amp with a receiver,the receiver has to have preamp outputs.Look on the back.If it has jacks labeled PREOUT LF RF then you're good.
Can you use this amp on regular receiver? or it has to be preamplifier? i dunno if i explain my self correct, i hope you get what im trying to say. Thanks
Nice review. I have an Emotiva Pre amp and CD player and love them. I'm in the market for a nice two channel power amp and I keep looking more and more into this one. Not sure if I want this mush power for my 98db Klipsch though. My fish tanks might end up on the floor. :0
Great review. Spent hours researching over the internet...I kept coming back to Emotiva. Im looking to purchase a Pioneer 1120 and mate it with the Emotiva xpa-2 to drive my 4 ohm Cerwin Vega VS-150's. What are your thoughts?
Thanks for the video, helpful to me. I will probably buy the xpa-3 soon.

Listen to Emotiva gear before you make statements like that.

Emotiva is made in China garbage! To say this crap is better than true high end is ludicrous!

I think it would work great with your Cerwin Vega's.I use mine with Thiel CS7'S and they sound great.
