Hi Guys,
I plan to build a pair of 3 way loudspeakers with the 12” Lambda TD12H as the woofer. I am shopping around for an amp that will not only drive the mains for music listening but also a surround setup for HT.
I read in a previous post by Jon Marsh that the engineer who designed both the UPA 7 and the XPA 5 stated that the XPA 5 would only create 2 more decibels than the UPA 7. I tried to read up online about this and it seemed from my reading that 2 decibels would not be easily distinguishable.
Please help me understand the difference and what I could expect. I like to listen to Jazz, folk AND Classical music fairly loud to -15 usually. And I like to hear/feel the bass slam (if you know what I mean). If there will not be a discernable difference, I will go for the UPA 7 that is $250 less than the XPA 5. I've been told that the UPA 7 has plenty of bass slam.
I hope someone can help me come to a decision.
Thanks,
Darren
In case you need the link to the UPA 7
