Looks interesting, but not cheap, Steveo!!!!!
But pls read more closely, looks like it INPUTS CLASS A, NOT outputs!!!!! Which is a GOTCHA marketing it looks like to me!!!
BUT it might be great, buy two or three and tell us.
God Bless,
Wayne

Good point Wayne about the inputs! Haha no they not cheap by any stretch but the price for a pair of monos retail are cheaper than one a21 (at least here in Australia) Also way cheaper than the well reviewed BHK range as well.

The dealer says they sit above the parasound and below the bhks.

Wish there was somewhere in Sydney where I could try them. The dealer is in Melbourne

Quick update:

Got myself a pair of used Emotiva XPA-1L’s. Honestly they look brand new and still under the transferable warranty.

They sound excellent with the triton twos! I would describe it as a silky pouring of water from a crate, while the XPA-3’s were like a cool water-canon :).

I’m enjoying relistening to my music collection.
