Emotiva XPA-7 GEN 3 Vs Monoprice Monolith 7x200

[@gzamora25]

This is a very easy riddle. XLR are for long runs mostly used in Recording studios and maybe a theatre room where you might have the Processor/AVR in a more accessible place and the amp further apart. For short runs RCA is perfectly fine and in some cases better than XLR for short distance. Nevertheless the difference wont be noticeable to the ear.

[@MichelLinschoten]

Thank you .. all these “audiophiles” crack me up man . Like they want to ego stroke “mines got xlr” they don’t even realize it’s not audible. In their 4 feet cable runs at best 😆

[@TB-wc5bm]

Anything beyond 10ft XLR has a better signal. RCA cables signal tends to become weaker . The only time XLR is better than RCA on short runs, is if the pre-pro and amp are fully differential that’s because XLR cables are fully grounded. Look at Emotiva Pre Pro RMC-1 & XMC-2 there fully differential and on the back of the processors there’s only XLRs .

[@philmaness5983]

A big difference between balanced and unbalanced is the potential for ground hum. Studios use XLRs because ground levels are all over the place with multiple circuits and the ways different pieces of kit are wired. If your source and your amp are on the same circuit, you're probably OK, no hum. If you have a separate circuit for your amp, maybe not. Using XLRs with balanced differential signals, you will never have hum (at least not due to ground). The other difference is signal level. The analog signal level of balanced inputs is twice that of unbalanced. Additionally, any noise being introduced in the environment is suppressed by the differential immunity of balanced signalling, not so with the single ended RCAs. This is where the length of the run is a factor. A 3 meter run of RCA cables is a giant antenna to add noise to your system. No so with balanced XLRs.

[@TimCurry04]

This is why I stopped buying Monster brand wiring... car audio I would still buy because they have the corrosion resistance warranty but home audio I won't.

[@joetanner7479]

. FYI . . . The XLR's on amplifiers are INPUTS. They carry signals into the amplifier, they do not output power. XLR's on pre-amps are for signal OUTPUT (but sometimes do have inputs, as well). If your speakers have XLR's, then they are internally powered speakers. Again, the XLR's would be used to carry the signal (or link speakers). .

The Monolith 7X200 is made in US by ATI, and I personaly have a ATI 10505 (5 channel amp) and has a great construction as the Monolith 7X200 (wich I owned) and sound, by the way I had contact ATI customer service a few times and I am satisfied with their service. Great product and good.

[@davidmbugua4765]

Great choice. Love my XPA 3 gen 3. I listen lots of 2 channel music and this thing wakes up my speakers. Details all round the frequency range are amazing. XLR is always great to have, sure someday I'll need it cause my Emotiva will be with me for a while. 2 channels driven at 300 wpc for the Gen 3, gen 2 was 250wpc I believe.

[@d.l.2401]

The reason why Emotiva can push more power is it shares its Capacitors with all channel.

[@Cree8havoc]

Did your research?..the new batch of monoliths have xlr...your research about emotiva is correct..great customer service.

[@chuck5761]

Yeah, unfortunately @kpaceguy completely zoned this review - it sounded like he was just looking for reasons that the Emotiva was better, not performing an objective comparison. If the warranty's the same, am I paying $400 more for better speaker binding posts and a customer service person waiting by the phone? I don't hook up the amp often enough for the former to really matter, and if the build quality is good, the latter is irrelevant.

Kpaceguy how are you well are you liking your Marantz compared to your Yamaha? I personally feel that Yamaha Avr’s have better channel separation than Marantz and Denon. There is no need to add an external amp to Yamaha avr’s to get good channel separation. I don’t know if it’s just me, but that’s what I noticed when demoing them

[@lusly258]

Hi again, I have the Emotiva gen 3 , 3 channel amp, 275 watts all three channels, or 300 watts per channel running two channels. After looking at all of the specs , this amp was right for me. Plus it's not 90 pounds

[@Kpaceguy]

lu sly that's what I thought I wanted. But I want to power all my speakers with clean power especially because of how high quality everything is

[@lusly258]

Kpaceguy yes, I may send mine back one day to have it personalized to my specs. Emotiva does this. I bought the XPA 3 that you can later customize

[@lusly258]

Kpaceguy but to be honest, this is enough power, honestly, I think you would be happy with say the customizable xpa3 , especially since it frees up so much more power to your receiver. Then, if you decide it's not enough you can add more to the xpa3, but you may find it's plenty, like I did, and I have a large room

I use to have a home recording studio and I use XLR cables at $40 a pop no humming,static inference because they where shielded. I paired that with a conditioner which allowed clean power and no ground noise to my system. So XLR does have its place in a loop in a system I figure if you spend the money on the equipment don't buy cheap cables.

[@danielcunniff5201]

Hey bro I was hoping you could provide me with som insight, my father just bought the XPA-3 Gen 3 less than a month ago. It has been working flawlessly, until yesterday. We were watching golf , so not pushing it at all and the amp has lost all power? None of the other equipment lost power, he uses a base x for rear channels and the Marantz 7705 for processing. Everything is fine. All equipment is powered by the pano max. We have tried even plugging it into a separate outlet, and do not even get the orange power indicator? Do you have any idea what it might be?

[@MichelLinschoten]

Quality ? Monolith is build by ATI , you know owned and operated and designed by the guy that did SAE back in the day. They have been building amps for over half a century Emotiva can go take a hike anyday of the week I would choose ATI hands down . They build way better amps than emotiva does . They also build for lexicon (5000usd same amp), outlaw, crestron, cinepro (8000usd costing amps) Each channel have their own power supply and caps. Just look at a gut shot of these amps, it’s sick how they build these They build everything in house including their transformers That monolith weights 97 pounds and that’s all power supply 😆 don’t get me wrong emooooootiiiivaaaa is good, but doesn’t has the name ATI has in the audiophile community guarantee you that

[@od40k77]

@@MichelLinschoten You are correct about how good ATI is, and that ATI builds quality amps for lots of other well known brands. I believe however that Monoprice supplies ATI with the torroidal transformers, power rectifiers, and other components that are made in China but given to ATI to assemble per ATI's way of assemblying and building complete amplifiers. The monolith amplifiers are built in California by ATI, I just believe they do not contain some of the very high quality power components that ATI puts into their own signature line of amps, hence the massive cost difference between ATI's very own products and the Monolith products.

Your reasoning going with the Emotiva is weak as you cant describe to your audience the differences in the amps except for binding posts. Build quality is excellent on the Monolith, and now the XLR inputs are built into the Monolith. Also had the Emotiva been tried and true tested, the amp topology in the Monoilith while not new is quite reliable and manufactured by ATI , well known and respected in the industry . I own the XMC-2 processor from Emotiva with the upgrade they offer from the XMC-1 ,sounds amazing but still has too many glitches but like you I'm already invested with the Emotiva and when it works it works awesome.

Hello just finished noshed watching your video & I watched because of the title because that’s where I’m at right now. I’m deciding between the Emotiva xpa 3 for my front 3. I was hoping that you had listened to them both to make the recommendation. Just about every point that was made was in reference to build or missing xlr plugs. I’m sure that’s important to a lot of people but it just didn’t apply to me. I have an anthem receiver so I have no need for xlr outs a least not at this time. The binding post may have been better but as long as they don’t break... sorry for the length but the main thing I was hoping from your video was to compare sound quality between the two. That to me is the most important but I’m not discounting the other points that you favor the Emotiva. Once again I’m on the fence about both but hoping you can shed some light on the sound of the two. Thanks appreciate any any info you may have.

[@lesterd6480]

Mufasa I was drawn in by the title as this is the exact position I’m in deciding between the two amps. I was hoping for the answer to my question in this video or even from my comment but no reply.

[@lusly258]

Lester D hi, one good thing about the xpa3 Emotiva, is you can buy the three channel version for I think 1199.00 or less, and customize it later if you feel that you need to add more channels of amplification. I don't think anyone else is doing this, and it's like 200.00 for a two channel block of 300 watts I believe. This is just from memory. I purchased the XPA gen 3 and I love it, I have found that all I really needed in my large living room was this three channel Emotiva amp. With my X6300h Denon, I have plenty of power for my surround, atmos, and rears, which are not constantly using power at all times. So think carefully about your needs. You may not need 200 , or 300 watts rms for you back channels, or atmos speakers, in fact you will never use that amount of power. Only your main speakers are important, and maybe your center. If you find you need the power for your surrounds, which I doubt, you can later send your Emotiva Amp in and have it customized for a small fee. What a deal

[@lesterd6480]

lu sly thanks I appreciate the info.. I don’t think I’ll go wrong with either amp.. I heard good reviews on both & I like the way each one looks. The xpa like you recommended is what I was leaning towards. Most likely I will end up with he Emotiva, it has higher power rating for the xpa 3 than the monolith. I was just hoping that someone may have heard both to compare to each other. But like you said xpa 3 & let my receiver run the rest.. thanks 🙏 again.

[@lusly258]

Lester D I'm glad I could help a bit. Yes , the XPA really works for me, and my towers need a lot of power, the XPA powers them with ease, and the rest of my speakers sound so much better, since now the receiver has more power to give them. And Emotiva has excellent customer service, I called to ask questions before I purchased, and they answered perfectly, and fast. Let me know how it goes for u, good luck

Also the Monolith specs and listens very well, check out Gene Delasala's review at Audioholics, he is a degreed electrical engineer with the knowledge and equipment to measure the actual performance of the unit, and has a well trained ear as well.
