It is possible for channel 1 and channel 2 to be set to different position modes. Page 20 The XdA has some built in features to minimize the amount of light that it gives off in use and keep prying fingers from misadjusting it.
When first powered up, the text on the front panel is illuminated. If neither Mode button is pressed for several minutes, the XdA goes into a lockout mode no lights on except for the power light where pressing either of the Mode buttons has no effect.

Speakers more expensive than that make no sense to me. A lot of doubtful pseudo technology go in such esoteric and expensive speakers - my 2c. Looks and appearance first: The VA are some gorgeous lookers - the kind of finish you rarely see. If you look at the binding posts in the back then it'll be clear for you - the Austrians from VA mean quality. And that is not only outside, to be seen; read up on their website about their crossovers… Unless you are willing to spend a lot more I'd say the VA Beethovens are as good as it gets for a mortal's audio system.
The Primare amplifier is also a beautiful amplifier, simple, elegant and classy. The RELL sub is also very nicely finished - a true black piano high gloss - really nice. The spikes that come with the stand are in a beautiful metallic gun color and no, I don't like guns - nicest spikes I've seen in a long time.
Now the XDa XD's amplifier is not very nice looking - plastic front plate. Nowhere close to the Primare look. This strange combination music I like makes me hard to please when it comes to sound reproduction. Sound comparison: The VAs sound very relaxed with good imaging and clear mids while the highs sound silky smooth and mellow.
I could go on and on about their sound qualities but I'd rather skip to the critique part. At low levels there is plenty of details but when turned on a bit too loud the speakers distort a bit and the sound is not so relaxed anymore and no, it is not the amp; the knob is around 30 out of 75 when this is noticeable there is some decent reserve in the amp.
During my 4 years with this setup I noticed the piano sounds a bit boxy at times, especially in the low mids. As good as they are these speakers will not rock the house - they just don't play that clear at acceptably loud volume. On par with the best I ever listened to then some. NHT is nothing less. If anything the NHT are better.
With the 2. You put the filter for high SPL and you can rock the house and still have plenty of bass down to 25Hz. The best part - these speakers do not distort at very loud volume. One day I asked a friend of mine who is a motocross enthusiast: What kind of cars do you like? The answer came without a blink: The kind of car you can drive at Mph and makes you think you're driving 60 Mph, well controlled, balanced cars with sharp steering.
They can play organ effortlessly and have all the detail. And this comes from somebody who went to many concerts and operas. The mids are very fast - I dare to say on par with the best electrostats - don't take my word for it, try them out. The bass is fast, never boomy and never rattles. The highs are crisp, detailed never too harsh but never mellow. And the speakers, both bass and monitors are sealed. Again - unbelievable sound, hard to describe.
Precise, effortless and fast. Instruments like piano and the organ never sounded more life like, ever. The best part - these speakers do not distort at very loud volume.

Large orchestras, rock bands never sounded so crisp. During quiet passages the amp shuts down - annoying. The easy way I fixed that was to use the external trigger input on the XDa: I plugged wires from my preamp's trigger output to the XDa trigger input.
It takes 1 minute and a simple wire to do that. Read your preamp manual to locate the 12V trigger output and send that to the trigger input in the XDa. Ok - this was easy. Another thing is that whenever XDa starts there is a small sound pop in the tweeters. Digital amp and speakers sold in combination. Sweet spot eliminated. Sub s with separate power source. Completely customizable: in-wall, on-wall, behind wall. Company says performance is the same. Double the price but it is 5. You can also do 5.
Anyone have first hand experience with both? Can anyone help by listing a dealer that has these available to demo-preferably in the eastern US NE? I've always felt that tower speakers can handle much more volume without straining than bookshelf speakers.
