do share the details on shipping charges etc, if you dont mind
Shipping for one XPA-1 was Rs.20,914.33. Each XPA-1 weighs around 40 kilos shipped
hyeah:. So, getting one at a time as Borderlinx supposedly has a 65kg limit per consignment
.21k + 42K = 63K x2 = 126K for a pair of Mono blocks , cant dream of buying anything of such sort here at this price . The closest to the XPA-1 here is the Parasound JC-1 which cud be bought from chennai but at a price 3-4 times more!!!!
thanks for posting about the sale!
i ordered the erc-1 cd player, getting it through borderlinx. will post when i receive it
The ERC-1 CDP is supposed to be Excellent ,i believe performance wise its close to or better than a 2000$ CDP
congrats, do let us know about the ERC-1

Don't even compare the two - not a can but a big bucket of worms...
I have heard XPA-1s in a system and they can drive anything on this planet without a sweat with minimal burn in (100 hours) - no joking at all.
Parasound JC-1 - seriously require 1000+ hours of burn in (its crazy but something attested to by owners). They are phenomenal in performance for music and HT.
Between the 2 I would choose XPA-1 as its great VFM but I feel that Halo's are much better VFM and do a great job in their appplicatoins and edge out Emo's. Again my personal opinion
i cannot compare them performance wise as i have not heard either of them , am getting something close to the JC-1 for much less then half the price
was always interested in big monoblocks but cud not afford ,thanks to emotiva
The halos again may be out of reach price wise

Finally got home and opened the package.
It was well packed.. I plugged it in right away..
Got a free tshirt, as part of the ongoing Sale-a-bration (This is the back of the tshirt)
I have to mention about this remote. Its all metal, I can probably break someone's head with it if I wanted to.. Even to insert the batteries, I had to unscrew 6 screws on the back...
Unfortunately, since my setup is not complete yet, I coudln't actually get to hear the cd player play. I just powered it On to check everything works..
So far, so good.. touch wood.

BTW, the sale gets over this weekend.
A beautiful, well-constructed speaker with class-leading soundstage, imaging and bass that is fast, deep, and precise.
