XPA-200
Stereo Power Amplifier
Two for the road.
What do you do when you want the incredible sound quality and features of the legendary XPA-2, but you don’t need quite as much power? We have the perfect choice, the all-new XPA-200. Equally at home powering a superb stereo system, or the front channels of an audiophile surround sound system, the XPA-200 delivers 150 watts per channel into 8 ohms, or 240 watts per channel into 4 ohms of powerful, clean, audiophile grade audio power. The highly refined amplifier circuitry in the XPA-200 handles subtle details with finesse, while the hefty power supply provides plenty of dynamic power reserves for demanding source material.
Inside, the XPA-200 boasts the advanced engineering, high quality components, a heavy-duty toroidal transformer power supply, and our classic short signal path Class A/B technology. Also on tap is the transparent yet comprehensive protection circuitry you’ve come to expect from Emotiva. Outside, you get classic Emotiva styling, solid machined brass gold plated RCA jacks, and full-sized five-way binding posts. All the greatness of X, just smaller.
The XPA-200, enjoy your journey.
