A common question we get from our customers is if their current receiver has enough output voltage to drive their amplifier to full capability. Lonnie Vaughn dives into this topic to show what an average receiver will do with one of our XPA Amplifiers!

The receiver was an Onkyo for anyone who was curious. Zoomed in on the label @3:27.

I wonder how much power is consumed by the XPA gen 3 when just Idling?

@andrewcrain5461 3 года назад

I just use the TA-100 to drive my A-300 because the A-300 is worth every dollar but I also have the XPA 2 GEN3 AND THAT AMP IS FANTASTIC IVE NEVER SEEN A AMP RUN SO COOL IN TEMPTURE IN MY LIFE OF 56 YEARS AND SOUND QUALITY IS JUST FANTASTIC AS WELL....I AM A EMOTIVE CUSTOMER FOR LIFE I WAS CONSURNED ABOUT THE POWER SUPPLY IM GONNA GUESS CUZ IM OLD SCHOOL......BOTTOMLINE YOU CANT GO WRONG WITH EMOTIVE......!!!!!!!!!!

@EmotivaAudioCorp 3 года назад

Thank you for your kind words Andrew! Yes our amplifiers run pretty cool compared to a lot of them out there that double as room heaters.

@scottyo64 3 года назад

Even my Monster DR1 monoblocks run cool. 650 watts per channel with little to no heat? Amazing!

I have your xpa2v3...love it. Up front I have a freya2. And I recently sold a kidney to get new tekton double impacts. Love the xpa, full, powerful, holographic with the schiit. Bangs. Love it.

@mkfmkf55 3 года назад

Are Emotiva amps stable into loads less than 4 ohms? The specs seem to always say 4 ohm minimum so that's a bit of a concern for those of us who own Maggies or other hungry speakers.

Crazy - I was doing a search on how to measure pre-out voltage from a receiver and lo and behold this is MY receiver. The Onkyo RZ 730. I have an Outlaw 7000X that requires 1.2V and was considering adding two 2220 but those require 1.6V. Its great to see my receive can supply that voltage (since Onkyo only provides the nominal spec of 1V) should I decide to buy those two 2220 and run the rest of my system (minus the back surrounds) with the 7000X. Also the Onkyo RZ 730 can be configured to display the volume in dB so 84.5 is actually +2.5db and 82 is reference.

Why is the power cord ungrounded?

@hmoob-dab-tsi7572 3 года назад

How many watts to expect for 4ohms speakers. All channels driven. Martin logan xt60 , xt50 to be exact.

@welderfixer 3 года назад

Lonnie, How about a video where you explain speaker cable sizes? Everyone talks about "watts", but isn't watts=volts*amps? Isn't amps(current) the determining factor in conductor size? How much current is provided by an amplifier to X ohm speaker load at X watts? Another issue is input power supply to the audio rig. Kinda need guidance on 110/220v current supply size there also. Some folks don't know that plugging 30amps of load into a 15amp rated circuit is not a good/safe plan. Oh - all of this math, time for a drink.

@brownstone43 3 года назад

I never understood the volume number on most receivers. -40 to 20? Sony was the only one i knew who didn't complicate things. 0-60. How easy is that to know where you are

@Sdroiden Год назад

My onkyo RZ820 leaves 1v as the specifications, what does that mean when you say emotiva needs 1.7v?

@scottyo64 3 года назад

All I know is my Marantz SR7012 works very well with my Emotiva amps

@Chiroman527 3 года назад

Question to Emotiva: I have a Denon DRA-800H Receiver which has Zone 2 Outs. So I presume, I would connect the Denon's Zone 2 Outs to my Emotiva A-300 AMP inputs? Thus amplifying the Zone 2 signals? With this connection, the Zone 2 signal is amplified only, correct? It is not "bridging" the two amps?

@EmotivaAudioCorp 3 года назад

Correct, the signal would route through the Zone 2 outputs to the A-300 to your speakers. When connected to the outputs on the Denon, it should mute the internal amplification to those channels.

@ashrum3604 2 месяца назад

Though I get the output i need out of my Emotiva amps using my my Marantz pre-amp but, it leaves me still wondering if i ever could achieve max output form the amp as he does mention 1.7v need to reach max and quoting Marantz from their website "the RCA pre-outs can output up to 1.2V and the XLRs can output up to 2.4V" so based on the 1.2v vs 1.7v a would assume that i would not reach max but, I am not sure.

@turbogt2911 2 месяца назад

I have the EXACT same concern. SR5015 sounds great driving my right and left RF-7 IIs and Focal 300 ICLCR 5 center to a crystal clear 80+ dB at my 13 ft listening position; but I'm always stuck wondering if an external amp could sound better. Then I discovered this issue of Marantz's preout voltage. I may never know.

@TheNLHAZE 7 дней назад

I have the exact same problem with my Onkyo RZ250 Onkyo has released the new RZ 70 however the pre-outs are the same output so I cannot from my understanding get the maximum amount of power out no matter what amplifier I buy unless that amplifier has gain control.

@AllAboutVideography 2 года назад

A question for emotiva. I'm thinking of getting the Onkyo tx-rz50 together with the Base X A3 for the LCR. The specs on the Onkyo tx-rz50 pre-out is 1v.. is that enough to move the base X A3?

@blackboss4117 2 года назад

I'm wondering the same thing. I have a Pioneer SC-LX904 with pre-out of 1v Thinking about getting the XPA-3 for my LCR. Not sure if that will be sufficient enough for that amp. 🤔

@TheNLHAZE 7 дней назад

I have that Onkyo and I also have a BASSX-3 I do not feel as getting the full potential as well I asked a guy at Crutchfield about this he was completely stumped he was like you pre-outs will put out enough power I tried to explain to him I measured the power And also see the out put on paper how much,power this receiver puts out....No I'm not getting the amount of full power however I do love their amplifiers.

@mrcomein 3 года назад

Is this true for the DR3 as well?

@Shadow-dn1kz 3 года назад

Hi Emotiva, my system are Yamaha RX 3040 and my speaker are KEF Q950 and center KEF Q600c. I want to add Emotiva XPA 5 gen 3 to my system. If I do can I hear the different on my ht system? I am listening at volume -20 db. Waiting for the feedback. Thanks Emotiva

@nickmandara8231 3 года назад

Yes, with all channels driven you are only getting close to 100 watts of power with your Yamaha. Going with the XPA-5, you will get more than twice that power and really open up your soundstage and system performance. It will be a night and day difference.

@Shadow-dn1kz 3 года назад
