Emotiva XPA vs UPA

[Mr Peabody]

I was looking at those amps the other night, true it's power but what gets the XPA there is double the output devices and twice as large power supplies. So I'm assuming there is also a noticeable difference in sound quality. But I have yet to hear either. Which to buy would depend on associated gear, purpose (use), and always budget.

Thats why the xpa will be more dynamic., because of double the out put devices and lager power supplies as well as greater current. Bass will be deeper, faster and effortless.
Dynamics will be better with music like Classical. Van Alstine offers double die (double the Mosfet's) on their amps and they are much more dynamic and faster than their standard amps.
