Hi Guys,
I ordered my new Emotiva XPA-5 power amplifier yesterday to drive my Triton Two's. Thanks to some forum members introducing me to this Brand which I did not know of. Needless to say I'm totally excited about it.
If this amp proves to be awesome the next step will be to pick up the XPA-2 to for the Triton's and then a second to run them in Mono.
That's the plan down the road. I'm excited to even have a plan.

Thanks man,
Cheers!!!

Fried One: I've been using cables from decware.com with great success. The Model DSG (studio grade cable) is a great cable. The sound of this cable is warm and clean with nice transparency. The mids are liquid with a large and weighty presentation that remains unchanged with cable length.

Lengths range from 1/2 meter - 4 meters
Prices range from $79.00 - $179.00

Plus Wayne thinks they're nice looking. ;)

That is a great amp. I ran it for over a year and loved it. So much so that I started going down the path of Emotiva monoblocks. I'm really happy with the Emotiva brand. Great value, customer service and they really bring out the greatness of GoldenEar speakers. You're going to really be happy.
