At that time, RF-7 IIs, Wharfedale Evo 4.4, and Magnepan LRS's. It struggled with the LRSs at higher volumes. I would even say the A300 is better suited for the maggies as it has higher current. I am not saying the XPA-2 GEN 3 is a bad amp by any means. I still have it to this day.

Hey scottyo! Thanks for the video! I’m really considering this to my system as I have 2 focal 248s that my Marantz Cinema 40 lacks power to drive. I want to have both cinema and music quality and that’s why I was considering the DR-2! But I don’t have XLR pre outs on my amp and as you said it it’ll ruin it.. Do you think it’s a waste and I should go with the XPA? Thanks man!

@scottyo64 6 ай бұрын

Lack of XLR doesn't "ruin" it but there is more potential that won't be used. The XPA-2 GEN 3 is a very good amp. Mine powers the left and right in my home theater set up. I have no plans to change it. My DR-1s are in my 2 channel system. Some days powering LRSs some my Cornwalls

Thanks man! I think the XPA will be the right choice in the end. It’s just that so many people are talking great about it eheh I’m going to start with the XPA and give it a try. If I don’t like it I’ll swap it for the DR 😎 keep up with the great videos!

For me, certain types of music sounded good through them. I enjoyed them while I had them, but they were laid back on the high end, forward on the mid, but bass was enjoyable. The whole time I had them, it just felt like something I wasn't going to get used to. I had a hard time selling them even though they were in excellent condition. Just remember, everyone has different tastes, and the 4.4s were not my cup of tea.

They were in excellent shape, boxes manuals, everything, and I finally let them go for $800. I went and bought a pair of Cornwall IVs they may end up being my last pair for my 2 channel system.

I have a pair of Definitive BP-7006's driven by a Yamaha RX-V663 A/V receiver and in of itself, it's not a bad little setup for listening to music in my garage but, I was thinking that the Emotiva XPA-2 Gen 3 stereo power amp would be the best value to kick the stereo signal up from 90 watts to 300 watts per channel using the Yamaha's pre-amp outputs. Thoughts? Great video! Thank you.

My thoughts? I don't believe it would make a big difference, and you might be disappointed. Here is what I can tell you. More "head room" with power is never a bad thing. Also, and some people will disagree with me, I have found with higher power amps I get better sound coming in at a lower volume. I now get good sound long before I piss off the neighbors. Anyway, that is my take. Dont hesitate if there is anything else

I am looking to purchase mono blocks and am seriously considering the DR1s. The price is reasonable compared to many mono amps. I have an RME dac that I use as a pre amp, it has balanced outs and works great, but may consider an actual preamp. My wife loves the Magnaplainers (sp?) We may be looking into that also, but I want to get the back end squared away before I buy new speakers. I would hate to plug in my new speakers and they don't perform because the amps are weak. Takes the joy out of new speakers to me, I love the initial "WOW!" Hate working backwards. Thanks for the video.
