    Amp for N802?

    I took the advice of many here when it comes to budget and spent the larger portion of my budget on speakers. I recently purchased a set of N802's.

    What are some 2-Channel amps I could get at around $1000 to power these?

    The current top of my list are the Emotiva RPA-2 and Parasound 5250.

    Thanks,

    Josh

    I think the Emotiva RPA-2 has been discontinued unless you are going for it used. The XPA-2 has taken its place..

    Emotiva is have a big sale right now including free shipping. You can't really go wrong because if you don't like you can send it back no questions asked..
    Main System:
    B&W 801D
    Emotiva USP-1 Pre-Amp
    Chord SPM-650 Stereo Amp
    Oppo BDP-105
    Squeezebox Touch


    Second System:
    B&W CM7
    Emotiva UMC-1
    Emotiva UPA-2
    Oppo BDP-83SE
    Grant Fidelity DAC-09

            I'm with stuofsci02 ... not sure what you're saying ...

            You asked...
            What are some 2-Channel amps I could get at around $1000 to power these [N802 speakers]?
            The current top of my list are the Emotiva RPA-2 and Parasound 5250.
            Then when stuofsci02 said the RPA-2 was discontinued (and replaced with XPA-2) you said...
            I do own the RPA-2.
            Why don;'t you just use your RPA-2?

                HT: B&W 802D2, 805S, HTM4, Marantz, OPPO BDP95, Velodyne DD-12's

                HP / secondary system: Woo Audio W2, Carver Sunfire, Kef LS50, Denon, and too many headphones to list
