....Who cares if it can do 13.2 I'm running it in 2.1 or 2.0. I was thinking going emotiva xpa 3 for a power Amp for my fronts...
Because a quality 2 channel rig for two grand sounds better than a mass market rig that has 13 amps with more than 6 times the components in it. Those components are going to be the cheapest ones available to keep the price down. Your loudspeakers would love a Rogue Sphinx V3. The Emotiva is the wrong choice for your loudspeakers, it will be dry and perhaps shrill.
