Sounds like a great plan! Let us know what you think of the XPA-7.
so i have everything hooked up...
my observations are as follows...
overall things sound good...at mid to high volume excellent
at low volume i feel lower end and mid level is missing a little... kind of shallow...
i tried a mcintosh 7 channel amp and it felt warmer and better at low volume..the only thing i noticed is that 7ch mcintosh is rated 8/4 ohm and not 2 ohm like some of the 2/3 channel models...so not sure if that makes a difference...this is very confusing...
i think i may change out to the mcintosh..but the xpa-7 does sound good... just the mcintosh is warmer and fuller at lower volume levels...just need to figure out the model to get or maybe consider other brands?
