not sure if I have been living under a rock or what, but I have not heard about the upcomming emotiva XPA-1 until today.

at 1000 wpc into 4 ohms I could drive my m80's to levels that I can hear down the street! hmmm... I would love to have 2 of these, but $1800 for two versus the $800 for one XPA-2 is tough to swallow.

I will definitely put the XPA-1 on my list of stuff that I really want but don't need... right under the ep800 \:\)
