I was wondering if one could still use The Audessy calibration once you've gone to seperate Amp, I wouldn't think that you could hurt anything, but you never know. Just hooked up XPA-5. I couldn't find anything in the Onkyo manual. so I am seeking some added clarity, no pun intended

    Yes you can. I just added an XPA-5 to my Onkyo TX-NR807 and it works exactly the same as when using the Onkyo's built in amps.

    How does the Onkyo/Emotiva combo sound with the Polks? I'm running a TX-NR1007 with RTi70 mains and a CSi40 center, and though my little 9.2 setup sounds pretty damn fantastic as it is, I keep thinking that an XPA-3 would probably be a solid improvement, especially for music. Just curious how the character of the sound changed for you guys.
    Equipment list:
    Onkyo TX-NR3010 9.2 AVR
    Emotiva XPA-3 amp
    Polk RTi70 mains, CSi40 center, RTi38 surrounds, RTi28 rears and heights
    SVS 20-39CS+ subwoofer powered by Crown XLS1500
    Oppo BDP-93 Blu-ray player
    DarbeeVision DVP5000 video processor
    Epson 8500UB 1080p projector

    I got my XPA-5, last Monday, but had to wait til Friday for my RCA's. I hooked it all up and I noticed more power, not necessarily better sound until ! set it up with the Audyssey, nowit sounds a lot better. I played some old Fleetwood Mac and Joe Walsh, Eagles. Old tunes I knew pretty well, and yes everyone was right saying to go seperates I am pleased with the new sound
