The impedance setting only affects the rail voltage to the internal amps, it shouldn't have done anything to the low level output.

I guess the Yamaha could be sending out a slightly higher voltage than normal which could be affecting the emotiva. Maybe you need to run down to Jason's with the emotiva this weekend and try it out with his Denon.

Randy and SatKartr are far more patient than I would have been. I would have been running down to the local FedEx office with a used and obviously problematic amp for shipment back to the factory on about day two or three and by now would have had a replacement amp (another brand) powering up my system.

You're the guy that's got 4 M80's, right? You're not trying to run all 4 M80's off of that one XPA-2 - a pair of M80's off each channel - are you?

I tend to agree with Rick. I'd get a replacement XPA from Emotiva ASAP to rule out a defective amp. If that new amp does the same thing, get your money back and buy a different amp from somewhere else that has a full money-back guarantee. If *that* amp has problems too, then it's got to be something in your home wiring or in the M80 itself. You've got to rule out variables here.

Whatever the outcome, keep us informed. I'm curious how this will play out.

Different guy Rick. SatKartr only has 2 (though I'm sure he'd like 4). ;\)

\:\) Now there's an idea! I am as I just found out going to be in Austin next week and that does pique my curiosity, unfortunately I will be flying and I could barely carry the xpa2 to the car much less transport it on a plane. I kid you not, I thought the reviewer was joking but that sucker is heavy. If I were to write a review there would be only one definite critique from me: it ought to have handles so you can lift it without the risk of dropping it straight through your hd display as you lose your balance on liftoff!

Plus my gps is busted and has to go back for replacement, there's no way I'd find your place Jason and make it back to the office within lunch hour, Austin is tricky, maybe next trip. \:D
