it works; that's the recipe for the "giving it away" you mention
I have not yet reviewed one of their power amplifiers, but Emotiva’s new X-Series XPA Gen3 user-configurable modular amplifier ($899) seems mighty intriguing. It uses plug-in modules and a class-H switch-mode power supply that switches between low- and high-voltage B+ rails as the signal demands. The XPA Gen3 can be configured as a one-channel, two-channel, five-channel, or seven-channel amplifier.
All Emotiva XPA Gen3 amplifiers provide 300Wpc into 8 ohms, 550Wpc into 4 ohms, and 800Wpc into 2 ohms. And to my eye, they look high-tech professional in a sci-fi, street rod, NASA kind of way. (Presently, I'm working on a review of Emotiva’s $299 SP-1 MC/MM phono preamp and line extenderwhich uniquely adds phono capability and extra line inputs to any line-level-equipped source.)
