We are in the process now of rounding up individuals to come. Dann G. has commited to coming with the Emotiva van full of goodies. Lots of people also plan on brining their own gear. Mac is trying to see if some local hi-fi stores will be willing to temporarily donate some gear.

But it should be a hell of a time.

I'll keep ya updated, but clear your calender for the weekend of July 25th

What is "GTG"? I will make sure to have the calender open. Pretty close to me?

Cool, not to far then. Please, keep me in the loop. I don't own any Emotiva, but it is definitely on the radar.

Mike , I am getting the XPA-5 in the next week or so to power my front 3 BOSTON HS450's .I will be using my UPA-7 to power my Surr. & surr. rears ! I would like to get 3 XPA-2's because you can Bridge them into 1 channel each for twice the watts(power) But It's more than I want to spend !

Why dont you just get an XPA-3 sense your just gonna use it for your L/C/R or did you just want the extra power?See I dont know weather it would be better for all front to have the same power or just my L/R having the most power.BTW I dont do 2ch music imma multi-ch listener

Sometimes I do 2 channel But it is sweet to sit in the sweet spot & have all 7 of them going together !!

Why the XPA-5 , Because I want my front sound stage stronger than it is ! I will get more watts using 3 channels on the XPA-5 !

PitbullMike · 06-10-2009, 05:11 AM

50 more watts to each channel not bad

did you order it aleady?If so when will you get it?Im also thinking about selling my Marantz receiver to get the new UPC-1 but dont know yet.Wish they added 2 hdmi outputs instead of one thou

typo. As I said before the manuals emotiva has are not of high quality or priority LOL

Truewitt · 06-12-2009, 01:29 AM

I have a question if someone could answer. If I have a UPA-7, only connecting three speakers, the extra power will automatically be routed to those three speakers, correct?
Now if I have seven speakers connected, but am only sending information to two channels, with music, for example, will it still route the extra power to those speakers when the others are inactive or do the other speakers need to be disconnected?

Thanks in advance for any help.
