Emotiva XPA-3 Three-Channel Power Amplifier

Ross Jones

The term "separates" was once reserved for the upper crust of the home theater world. Only those with the most discerning ears (and fattest wallets) considered purchasing a separate preamp/processor and multi-channel power amplifier. That time has long gone, thanks in part to the rise of Internet-direct firms such as Emotiva. They manufacture monoblocks (single-channel amplifiers) and multi-channel amplifiers, up to the XPA-5 which has five channels. The current review explores their three-channel amplifier, called the XPA-3.

B&K

Secrets
Can you hear the difference between B & K and common, mass market components? Absolutely. Like jazz? Listen to the timbre of a sax. If you prefer classical, you'll hear the "truth of timber." Rock will deliver more bass punch, depth and snap with no loss of openness or detail. With any style of music or soundtrack, the harmonics are just right.
