I live in TN and spent the better part of an afternoon at Emotiva recently. They are a great bunch of folks who are dedicated to offer high quality audio components at budget prices. They would probably earn more respect if they doubled all their prices as we are wired to not believe anything can be of quality if its cheap. I listened to their high-end 2-channel system with a pair of their older 600 watt mono block amps. It had their top of the line CD player, Preamp and their larger tower speakers. It sounded fantastic and I think the retail on the whole system was under $5k. They offer a 30-day satisfaction return as well. What you aren't going to get....yet....is a known and stable resale value. One of my friends has an awesome system with McIntosh Preamp, CD Player & Tuner with PSB speakers. He has an Emotiva 2-channel amp that sounds fantastic. My tour ended in the owner's office where he has the least expensive system set up that I think is only around $1500 for everything. It also sounded great. I know its a bit of a leap of faith, but if you are a solid state lover, I think you will be happy with their products. Good luck!
Emotiva equipmet, how good is it?
I don’t have a big budget but need to start making a decent listening system. I have a couple of options open to me for some equipment. All used since I seem to be able to get a better bang for my buck. Wanted to know what people thought, but of course I know opinions don’t matter as much as my ears so just let me know if you have used or heard either of these pieces. Or if you think something is similar toss it out there.
XPA-100. I have a chance to get 2 for just over $500PT-100. Around $200
Someone also suggested I simplify and just buy a new Yamaha A-S801 Integrated Amplifier
Looking at using my current speakers which are Dali Ikon6 and I also have Totem Dreamcatchers. Oh and the room is about a 11 x 16. And yes I saw the opps in the title but it won’t let me fix the spelling of Equipment.
Thanks for your thoughts.
