I have rti a9 and I have a emotiva upa-5 amp that is 125x5
I have my emotiva biamp and now i am sending 125 to the highs and 125 lows is this enough for them or should i still look into buying the emotiva xpa-2. I am running a 7.2 setup with csi a6 and 4 rti a3 and two dsw pro 660wi

To start, you should read up on what bi-amping is and isn't. The short version....unless you are using an active crossover, you're not really bi-amping. Oh and that 125 going to the tweeter....yeah, the tweeter might use 5 watts, that's might. You'd have been much better off getting a more powerful 2 channel amp connected with a high quality single speaker cable run and upgrading the jumpers.
It's also not the best idea to pair an inherently bright speaker with an inherently bright amp.

For less money you could amplify 5 of your channels with a much warmer sound that will tame the bright if not harsh highs you are hearing.

The biamp option on the a9 doesn't separate the tweeter from the 5.25's, rather the three 7 in subs at 120hz. 125w to each terminal is okay to do with the equipment at hand.Oh, Listen here mister.

Now there is a lot that bird don't know, but it don't change the fact that the world is happening to him all the same.

Yes, but I'd go the F1nut route and/or get the BK if you don't mind used EBay.
There was a big sale on EMO so xcap's idea isn't a bad one if you must stay
with what you know.

It appears the XPA-1L's are no longer available.... sad face. I may have to consider used gear, which I have never been comfortable with.... I haven't even owned a used car. Now could be the time. Was thinking XPA-2 if I can't find the XPA-1L's.

I'm running an xpa5 with xpa3...speakers are rt2000i,sda2,rta12b...such clean power!!! Emotiva just matches so well with polk speakers.also outlaw audio model 990 for the pre and mirage omc3 for the center...

So, you're using Polk speakers that are not timbre matched along with a center channel that isn't timbre matched to the Polk's all driven by amps that are known to be bright. A solid recommendation from an obvious expert.Political Correctness'.........defined
