I would like to know why they discontinued their reference line of amplifiers. Was demand to weak?
In the past they had the XPA gen II and a reference line.
I am glad to see that the company decided to fix the humming problem which was a known issue that Emotiva tech support and owner's widely acknowledged.
Excerpt from Emotiva announcement:
"Third, Emotiva says that they have virtually eliminated low frequency line noise and hum. The result is that the new XPA Gen 3 series low frequency noise floor is lower than the Gen 2 models. Through this careful design of the power supply and paying attention to EMI and RFI performance, Emotiva says that they have a better sounding, quieter, and more powerful amplifier design that also has the added benefit of flexibility."

Looking forward to Gene and Hugo testing and confirming in one of their entertaining vids in the future.
