Gents, I'm looking to upgrade the tried and trusted Emotiva XPA-2 and need some guidance. This is to work with the Song Towers, a Rythmik Sub, the W4s Dac-2 and if I'm lucky a CAPS 3.0
Requirements (aside from sounding better than the emotiva):
-Smaller footprint (width of around 15 inches or less would be ideal)
- Has XLR inputs so I can still run a 2.1 set-up.
Music wise, I'm playing a range of Country, Jazz, 60s - 80s music (digital). At some point I may dust off my vinyl though. If it helps I felt the emotiva/Dac-2 combo was fine, but way of sounding like a live band that I hope I'd get from Norah Jones high res tunes.
Seems like my options are:
The W4S Mamp
W4S SX-1000/500 Monos.
Anything else I should consider or wait for or any feedback on the Mamps or sx monos?
