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.
