Like Axiom, Emotiva has a 30 day return policy.If you feel it makes a difference, great.If not you send it back.Myself and my audio buddies have done several AB comparisons with my reciever and a friends reciever both running on their own and with my LPA1 hooked up.To us the improvement was quite noticeable.But you'll have to hear for yourself, every situation is different.
