Thanks for watching, 1MSTV.

The beauty of having a combination of a Emotiva and Elac products together is a great way in having your cake and eat it too, by setting up a two channel system for those audiophile's and/or a 7 channel all out home theatre setup for those movie buffs as well.

Thanks for watching, 1MSTV!!!

The XPA Gen 3 modular amplifier series uses the same core circuit topology as our legendary XPR series amplifiers. A unique differential input stage, with a cross-linked current source, drives a balanced VAS stage. The advanced input stage is tied to a fully complementary output stage and delivers a holistic, natural, and powerful listening experience. Low-level musical details and dialogue emerge from a deep black background. Its wide bandwidth, low distortion performance reveals every nuance of your high- resolution sources. The XPA amplifiers will drive difficult loudspeakers with absolute authority and control, and will keep their cool while doing so.

Our highly regarded Soft-Switch™ Class H power supply topology increases the efficiency of the new XPA amplifiers without compromising the audio performance you'd expect from an Emotiva amplifier. At lower power levels, the amplifiers operate on a lower supply voltage to minimize quiescent power consumption and standby power losses. When the amplifier control circuitry detects a fast rising input signal that will exceed the lower power voltage, it instantly switches to a higher voltage rail to ensure that the signal can pass cleanly without clipping. This process happens on a continuous basis, in real time, and it allows much greater overall efficiency than previous designs. In actual operation, the XPA amplifiers are cool running, which contributes to much longer component life, reduced power consumption, and increased reliability.

All of the benefits of a classic Class AB design without the wasted heat, weight, and power of a conventional fixed rail design - Cool.

The Debut B6 takes the incredible B5 sound profile and adds an extra dollop of bass and dynamic range, making it a stand-out choice for multi-channel systems and critical music listeners seeking a superb bookshelf speaker that packs real performance and punch.

Are you able to connect a DAC to the XPA, and how?

You cannot find an AVR that will put out the 400 watts/channel the ELACs require for decent level sound. Even my new model $1500 Denon AVR has only 125w/channel, which is enough to hurt your ears with my Klipsch speakers, but will leave you wanting for more power with the ELACs unless you only listen at low volume levels. Plus the Klipsch sound oh so much better. Even with my Denon AVR driving 9 channels I have PLENTY of power and the need for the Emotiva external amp (which is needed on top of an AVR to power the ELACs) is unnecessary. I have plenty of headroom even at ear slitting volume levels.

Music lovers that bought their ELACs ages ago will try to tell you how great they are, but they just don't want to admit they have been dramatically left behind by technology advances. Believe me, these speakers sound muffled compared to the similarly priced Klipsch.

All that being said the Emotiva XPA Gen 3 amps are excellent amps at very reasonable prices. Just remember you will also need a AVR. The Emotiva is ONLY an amp. Instead of buying inneficient speakers and having to spend extra money for a powerful amp you are better off spending a litlle more for great speakers that can be fully powered by a good AVR.

FYI, my two Klipsch setups are as follows:
- Denon AVR-X4300H, Klipsch 7.2.2 - RP-260F x 2, RP-450C, RB-61 II x 4, R-115SW, R-112SW, RP-140SA x 2.
- Denon AVR-X2200W, Klipsch 6.1 - RB-61 II x 2, RP-250C, R-25C, R-15M x 2, R-112SW.
