There's a uised ATI AT4002 on usaudiomart for $2000. This is a better version of the Monoprice Monolith amp and it's not that much more than a Emotiva XPA-DR2.
Thank you so much for sharing your experience and opinion. I know at some point, a big transformer amp will eventually end of life. Emotiva seems to be very new to audiophile community, their expertise is home audio theater, however, I really like the way they designed the amp and ideology.
I tried Emotiva about 6 years ago. I found the sound very thin and hard sounding. When I opened the unit up, there was a huge empty chassis with 3 small boards. Power supply was a joke. Emotiva is midfi that likes to pretend it is high end, only it is not. Once an Emotiva is out of warranty, they won’t repair it, so be warned.
