
TheXseriesamplifiersweredesignedformultipleapplications,andworkwellinbothhometheaterandmusicalsettings.
Theywereengineeredtobehighlyresponsive,dynamicanddeliveraclear,neutralandnaturalsound.


Ratedat250wattsinto8ohms,500wattsinto4ohms(minimumrating–itwillpeakhigher).TheXPA‐2isalsobridgeable
(for8ohmloads),transformingitintoapotentmonoblock.

XPA‐3
TheXPA‐3wasbroughttotheXfamilyasa‘turbocharger’fortheaveragereceiver.Simplyput,areceiver’samplifiercannot
competewithaseparateamp.It’sjustsimplyphysics,duetothespacelimitationswithinthereceiver.

TheXPA‐3ratesat200wattsperchannel(8ohms),andwasdesignedtobeusedtopowertheleft,rightandcenterchannels,

amplifiersinvariousconfigurations,withorwithoutusingareceiver.

XPA‐5
ThefirstXseriesamplifier,andstillthemostpopular.Thisfivechannelamplifierwastheanswertotheconstantrequestfor
‘moreheadroom,please’.Anamplifierwith‘headroom’hasapowersupplycapableofpeakingwellbeyonditscontinuous
