Update to my previous post, I am now sending back my Emotiva XPA-5 for warranty repair. This is the third Emotiva product in a row that will require warranty repair (two processors and now an amp). Emotiva requires that I pay for shipping. Each of these repairs have cost me time and money. Am I really just unlucky or are these badly manufactured? Emotiva didn’t offer me anything other than "standard warranty" service even after I continued to support and buy their equipment. These products are just absolute garbage. Not even close to high end. Avoid this company and products.

I bought an xpa 3 DR for HT, You pay a little more for the DR, brand new from Emotiva and it was DOA, wouldn't they test there amps before shipping? They sent another no questions asked before I even sent that one back. I thought the customer service was great.  Paul Mcgowin is there biggest salesman since posting his personal HT setup using an emo amp! 

 

Emotiva not so good

---

Emotiva amps are good until you hear another brand in the same space.

In other news, water is wet.

Emotiva is for folks who don't have enough money to buy a good brand (me included).

Once, I have enough money, I quickly move on to other Higher-end brand.

Emotiva served me well during my college years though. I did not miss my XPA-2 and did not lose any money trading it around to other college kids.
