Quote:Originally Posted by wpbpete My original plan was to get the UMC-200 then later the XPA-3 to run the fronts. Then the Costco deal popped up. I've been having sporadic issues with the 1522 and it's annoying the hell out of me,...

Yeah, and the UPA-7 was really OVERBUILT (from a marketing standpoint), one reason it is no longer made. The XPA-5 (next up in their ladder) is less than twice as powerful (300x5 @4ohms), and doesn't have as much capacitance as the...
