Single-end or balanced connections either is good. I think balanced is over-rated. You may be right about the Rotel being fake balanced! Me, I stick with RCA.
Emotiva XPA DR2 Gen 3
Hi, what are your thoughts on Emotiva XPA DR2 amplifier? What I read is that this is a modular differential amp. It would be drive a pair of Vandersteen 2ci. Thanks

I agree with @jasonbourne52, the Emotiva XPA DR2 Gen 3 is a nice amp, but I prefer the sound of the Emotive XPA-1 Gen-2 it's class A up to 60 watts. Mike

@ditusa Thanks for the comment. Monoblocks may not be an option in my situation since my room is pretty small but it would be nice to have. Synergy is key here and with my Rotel RC-995 pre with balanced out, I dont know if their is going to be a difference.I was planning using the XLR from the pre to the Emotiva amp but from various sources, the Rotel pre seems to be not fully balanced at the output. |
