what kind of power strip/surge/UPS are you using to protect all of your equipment? please help. i already have a yamaha RX-A1000. the next im gonna purchase is the emotiva XPA-5. im just using an ordinary power strip from radioshack as of now. i have two huge polk audio SDA2a. they are really old speakers given to me by a friend. but they still sound good. what power surge am i gonna buy?

@jaygax

Panamax M5400-PM is what I currently have.

Did getting the XPA make a difference on how your receiver handles the surrounds? I am stuck between a xpa-2/xpa5 combo or just getting a xpa-3 for a 7.1 setup with the receiver doing the surrounds. What do you think?

@chrisdogmlb

It all depends on your setup. In my case, I like to consider the RMS power of the speakers I am driving (175W fronts, 200W center, 150W surrounds), so the XPA-2/XPA-3 made the best match in my opinion. This gives me enough power to drive them hard while at the same time, avoid any clipping.

Hi,I was actually thinking about getting the Emotiva XPA-5 amp paired with my Reference Klipsch speakers but i was curious to know if you had noticed hissing coming from your speakers.As you may know the sensittivity rating is high which I think could causes hissing.Your help with this issue would be great,thanks.

@mikeo55583

No hissing whatsoever. At least not any that you'll hear even from sitting very close to the speakers. Which Reference model speakers do you have?
