Emotiva
X
Series
Amplifiers
Overview
The
X
series
amplifiers
were
designed
for
multiple
applications,
and
work
well
in
both
home
theater
and
musical
settings.
They
were
engineered
to
be
highly
responsive,
dynamic
and
deliver
a
clear,
neutral
and
natural
sound.
XPA
‐
1
This
amplifier
works
extremely
well
for
stereo
use
(requires
two
amplifiers),
and
offers
an
extremely
dynamic
home
theater
experience
–
tons
of
power
while
retaining
an
open,
relaxed
sound
miles
away
from
listening
fatigue.
Fully
balanced
with
a
quad
differential
input
stage
and
a
discrete
front
end.
It
features
24
output
devices
and
delivers
500
watts
into
8
ohms,
and
1,000
into
4
ohms.
The
XPA
‐
1
is
for
serious
audiophiles
who
want
a
very
detailed,
clean
sound.
Recommended
for
left
and
right
channels,
left,
right,
and
center
channels,
or
all
channels
(one
amplifier
per
channel)
XPA
‐
2
This
two
channel
amplifier
packs
a
punch
as
either
a
stand
‐
alone
stereo
amplifier,
or
as
an
amplifier
for
the
left
and
right
channels
in
your
home
theater.
Combining
it
with
an
XPA
‐
5
makes
a
formidable
7
channel
system.
The
XPA
‐
2
boasts
a
larger
transformer
than
the
XPA
‐
5
or
XPA
‐
3,
as
well
as
more
secondary
capacitance,
larger
power
modules
and
higher
rail
voltage.
An
extremely
robust
output
section
(12
output
devices)
maximizes
power
and
delivers
exceptional
performance.
Rated
at
250
watts
into
8
ohms,
500
watts
into
4
ohms
(minimum
rating
–
it
will
peak
higher).
The
XPA
‐
2
is
also
bridgeable
(for
8
ohm
loads),
transforming
it
into
a
potent
monoblock.
XPA
‐
3
The
XPA
‐
3
was
brought
to
the
X
family
as
a
‘turbo
charger’
for
the
average
receiver.
Simply
put,
a
receiver’s
amplifier
cannot
compete
with
a
separate
amp.
It’s
just
simply
physics,
due
to
the
space
limitations
within
the
receiver.
The
XPA
‐
3
rates
at
200
watts
per
channel
(8
ohms),
and
was
designed
to
be
used
to
power
the
left,
right
and
center
channels,
giving
the
receiver
enough
breathing
space
to
adequately
power
the
surrounds.
Of
course,
it
can
be
used
with
other
amplifiers
in
various
configurations,
with
or
without
using
a
receiver.
XPA
‐
5
The
first
X
series
amplifier,
and
still
the
most
popular.
This
five
channel
amplifier
was
the
answer
to
the
constant
request
for
‘more
headroom,
please’.
An
amplifier
with
‘headroom’
has
a
power
supply
capable
of
peaking
well
beyond
its
continuous
rating,
making
it
extremely
dynamic,
while
retaining
clear
imaging
and
detail.
At
200
watts
into
8
ohms
(300
into
4
ohms),
the
XPA
‐
5
immediately
raised
the
bar
and
became
a
classic.
The
backbone
of
a
serious
home
theater
and
stereo
system,
and
easily
combined
with
an
XPA
‐
2
for
an
absolute
knockout
of
a
7
channel
setup.
