hey guys/gals, I need somehelp understanding how much power i need to use the klipsch palladium p-39f. I currently have an emotiva xpa-3. Is that enough to power 2x p-39f and a rc-64ii center speaker. Or should I upgrade to 2x xpa-1 ?? Thanks, David

With a 95db /1 w sensitivity, you will never push the XPA-3 amp anywhere close to its limits. The XPA-3 will do just fine. Those look like some awesome Klipsch speakers.

I second that. At 95 dB sensitivity, XPA-1s would be a waste of money. That is not considering the possible improvements it's dual differential operation could give, but is that worth $2K for you? Probably not.
