Thanks for any help on this matter!!
Hello Madmax,
I purchased the UPA-2, tried it out for a few days and then returned it for the XPA-2. Emotiva paid for the shipping to return the UPA. I only was out for shipping the UPA and XPA to myself.

To me, the XPA had much better bass response and just sounded better. Also, it's nice to have an amplifier that I can run any speaker that I may upgrade to. It did a good job with my Magnepan 1.6's and now sounds increadably good with my Jamo C809's.

If your strapped for cash, try out the UPA for 30 days and then if needed, do the upgrade to the XPA. Emotiva was very nice about the whole process.

Best Regards,
Stan
