I'm considering picking up a speaker amp that I can use to power an eventual bookshelf system, as well as an HE-6 from the speaker taps, should I decide to get one.
I've been looking at an Emotiva XPA-2, which outputs 300W x 2 into 8 Ohms. How much power would that provide to an HE-6 and would this be a recommended amp? Appreciate the advice.
question here, trying out the mini X a-100 to run my he-6's just wondering do I need a DAC or would a good sound card work just as well. Keep in mind I am a noob so don't beat me up to bad..
"Look at the miniX."---+1 on that
"Also what has been very interesting to me is the Emotiva XPA1-L"
Is this an amp,you'd use for the He-6's?
I have the nerve. Too muchLook at the miniX.
I'm in search for a good solid Class A amp. Pure Class A amps are usually lower powered amps.
First Watt
Threshold
B24 - Class A edition
Also what has been very interesting to me is the Emotiva XPA1-L - They are producing the first 30 watts in Class A where as their other amps are only the first 1 or 2 watts in class a then goes to class AB. Is there a difference in SQ? - I don't no. Probably not.
I'm still more than a little skeptical of the hooplah over "class A!" as anything other than a marketing footnote and expectation bias from audiophiles. I've heard great sounding class A amps, I've heard great sounding A/B amps, and I've heard amps of either variety that trounce other amps of the opposite variety. I think it's mostly much ado about nothing. Two equal means to get to the same goal.
I think the current needs to be clean and fast and that's a function of the power supply. The reason higher wattage amps sound better is more reserve current. That's not to say you need a class A amp unless you want to use a low wattage amp.[COLOR=800080]QFT![/COLOR]
