These receivers have
balanced XLR outs for subwoofers, which is a plus especially when you have long cable runs to your subs. Further their
rated power per channel all driven is higher than other receivers in the market. They
also have 13 channels of external amplification

Here's couple of good videos on what's inside of them and gives you an idea on their build quality

A couple of things to consider with these receivers: Emotiva's firmware tends to be buggy which is why I stay away from their processors. In addition, these receivers use their proprietary EmoQ room correction - no Dirac or Audyssey available.
XLR connectors are only a differentiator if you
are picking up noise with an RCA connector. They don't improve sound quality.
I do own a couple of XPA gen 3 amplifiers and have been very happy with them. I use them with a Denon x4300h and x3500h as processors. Both these receivers have Audyssey XT32.

I have an xpa 11 gen 3, built like a tank and beautiful to look at too - my no sweat audio work horse for the last several years!
For the sound quality I would say yes, for features no. You got to know what you are getting into. Like no hdmi 2.1, no auro 3d, plain and boring text based UI etc. it's a no bells and whistles processor meant to primarily do what an audio processor has gotta do.
Video Inputs and Outputs:
(6) HDMI 2.0b compliant HDMI video inputs (all with full support for 4k UHD video, HDCP 2.2, HDR10, HDR10+, and Dolby Vision).
(2) HDMI 2.0b compliant HDMI video outputs (primary output supports both ARC and eARC).

If you know their amps you get well built & get good clean power, 9 channels at 85 watts is solid.
It will process 13 channels, at this price pretty incredible.
Only 2.0 as others mentioned and the XLR's for subs is nice, keep in mind they are parallel.
Their EmoQ RC I'll just say isn't the greatest, takes a little bit of work. imo it's the main downside.
You get a lot of performance for this price!

my xpa gen 3 was not built in China. But some models are.
