    And they have a store in Wilmington, DE so tax free to boot! :cool:

    Where is the sale advertised? I don't see anything on the website.

    Mike, where is this place. I've been all over Wilmington and have found only Overture & HiFi house! It's probably right under my nose but I haven't seen it. As my mom use to say to me, "if it had teeth it would have bitten you!"

    There is a deal of the day thread that this should have been posted in. That's what that thread is for.
    "Appreciation of audio is a completely subjective human experience. Measurements can provide a measure of insight, but are no substitute for human judgment. Why are we looking to reduce a subjective experience to objective criteria anyway? The subtleties of music and audio reproduction are for those who appreciate it. Differentiation by numbers is for those who do not".--Nelson Pass Pass Labs XA25 | EE Avant Pre | EE Mini Max Supreme DAC | MIT Shotgun S1 | Puritan Audio PSM136 Pwr Condtioner & Classic PC's | Legend L600 | Roon Nucleus 1 w/LPS - Tubes add soul!

    mmadden,
    I recieved an email from them, try..promos@6ave.com. Hope that helps!

    I just checked--so did I--looks like they use promo codes at checkout. My guess is that this sale is Online only--not sure how you would apply them in store--Couldn't hurt to bring the email along anyway-worth a shot.

    I don't know about others' experience with the XPA-5, but for my own, I've been extremely satisfied with both my XPA-5 & XPA-2; they drove my 7 Polk LSi speakers beautifully, especially with listening to music.

    I noticed in your signature that you have the denon 4810:D

    Do you pair up the 4810 with the emo's?

    Does the emotiva do a better job than the denons internal amplification?

    I don't use the Denon internal amp at all. The main reason was the Denon ran too hot even without utilizing its internal amp, and, of course, running seven 4-ohm speakers with it would not be a good thing, to me :D
    Therefore I drive my HT with the XPA5 and my 2-channel Zone2 with the XPA2.

    I don't think this is the place to have the Emotiva debate. We've been over it, everyone knows Emotiva's past... this is just a sale notification thread.

    Hell, there was an XPA-2 at PolkFest....
    Ludicrous gibs!

    Would the fact that this amp has blue lights and the LOW price make this a K-mart Bluelight Special?
