RE: Anyone? What's your impression of Emotiva's XPA-1L "class A" monoblocks?

The TRICK with this amp is to properly USE the 'switch'.
When listening....or a few minutes prior, flip it to 'A'.
When done? Flip it back.
That'll save heat / power and reduce the electric bill 'ding' while getting MOST of the benifits of this amp.
EMO makes....or DID make a fan system under the Sherborne name. That's gotta help, no? At the expense of moving the heat more quickly into the room.....
