Efficient Power Supply Design,Sturdy Construction & Customizable LED Indicators
Emotiva's Soft-Switch Class H topology enhances efficiency by utilizing a lower supply voltage at low power and switching to a higher voltage rail when needed, akin to Class G amplification. The rugged steel chassis and brushed aluminum faceplate ensure durability and a stylish look, while the status LEDs can be turned off easily, leaving the illuminated power button active.
Dynamic Performance of the Emotiva XPA-11
While the XPA-11's specifications may initially seem modest compared to other amplifiers, its real-world performance is impressive. Emotiva's conservative power ratings and efficient switching power supply deliver ample power to drive a 4 ohm/8 ohm speaker setup.
In comparison to my previous Arcam AVR850 and P429 amplifier, the XPA-11 offers a more exciting sound with greater dynamism and attack. During the Blu-ray playback of Roger Waters' Amused to Death, the amplifier excelled at delivering complex mixes, from the striking opening of "What God Wants" to the immersive 5.1 surround sound that filled the room with detail and tight bass.
The XPA-11 showcases its capabilities with the DTS-HD MA 7.1 sound mix of Edge of Tomorrow, effectively enveloping the listener in the chaotic beach landing sequence. It handles dynamic shifts with remarkable precision, ensuring clarity in dialogue and sound effects, even amidst intense action. With effortless power and excellent headroom, the XPA-11 provides an exhilarating listening experience that elevates any home theater setup.
