RE: my god; much respect for these Emotivas

The UPA 1's were kind of an interesting step for Emotiva because the talk by the designer at the time they came out is that they were supposed to be the most "musical" 2 channel amps in their lineup (at that power level), as opposed to the XPA2 which had a more "home theatre " design goal. The UPA 1's used the same amp modules as in the XP series ( ie XP3,5,7) but with a lot more capacitance. They were rated at 350 watts@ 4 ohms vs 500 for the XPA 2 but the XPA 2 has a weird wiring scheme for its capacitor banks that resulted in only 40,000 mf for the whole amp vs 80,000 per side for the UPA 1.
