I am looking to change some components in my 2 channel system. Where in your opinion would be the best money well spent on the following.
Current set up.
Emotiva USP-1 Pre
Emotiva XPA-2 Amp
Ascend Sierra 2 speakers
Martin Logan Grotto sub.
I want to either upgrade my sub to a Rythmik or upgrade my preamp to the XSP-1 gen 2. Where would I benefit most from upgrading. Just getting some feedback. Thanks
You already have a great system! What are your sources? In all honesty, the source may be the best place to upgrade.
That being said, I suspect the Rythmik (depending on model) will out-perform the ML sub.
My 2-channel rig is USP-1, Parasound 1206, and Philharmonitors, with a 10" velodyne sub (in a small room).
I have a Rythmik F15HP in my HT rig. It is a beast!
I really want an XSP. But in all honesty, I highly doubt that it is a huge audible upgrade as compared to the USP.
