My xpa-2 has different resistors on the protection circuit which makes it less sensitive. I have driven it pretty hard with no shutdowns.

You stated to you have diff. resistors...is that a special order from EMO to have it changed out for you? I have the XPA 2 for 3 weeks now. I do like the EMO amp. It perfectly match SQ and dynamic heardroom I wanted with my AXIOM speakers. Beside the Distortion and shut down this would be perfectly paired.

7.2-M80V2, QS8, VP150, M22, REAL SUB.DENON3808.EMOTIVA AMP(XPA-2 AND XPA-5)EMOTIVA erc-1 and ps3.
