The 2016 lineup includes a new line of high-performance but lifestyle-focused audio gear called Emersa, the new XPA Gen 3 line of high-performance modular amplifiers, and the addition of passive speakers to the company's popular powered Airmotiv speaker family featuring folded-ribbon tweeters.
Described as a significant step above the Gen 2 amplifier line, the XPA Gen 3 amplifiers feature a modular design that makes it possible to add channels in the future. All share the same chassis and power supply, differential input, complementary/short-signal-path Class A/B circuitry, and Optimized Class H power topology. The power supply is a new universal switching design that automatically adapts to line voltages between 100 and 250 volts.
The models, ranging from 2 x 350 watts to 7 x 250 watts, are: XPA-2 ($999), XPA-3 ($1,119), XPA-4 ($1,399), XPA-5 ($1,599), XPA-6 ($1,799), and XPA-7 ($1,999).
The six-model Emersa line has been “engineered to balance performance with lifestyle, décor with function,” according to company founder and president Dan Laufman, who added: “Great audio performance should be experienced in the real world. It shouldn’t compromise on convenience or performance.”
