Emotiva Tube Amplifiers Coming In February

.
I was at the Emotiva traveling roadshow last Saturday in Los Angeles. During a presentation to the visitors, Emotiva's owner mentioned that the tube designs that they purchased from Bob Carver will become a part of Emotiva's amplifier lineup next year. He said the tube amp they're building will be 300 wpc. He said that it will not be a retro-looking amp with exposed tubes. He said that the tubes will be in a covered chassis for a more modern look.

The owner said that more WAF friendly speakers are forthcoming next year also. He did not say whether or not if they are based on Bob Carver designs.

Geez Dayglow, get a life. The amp hasn't even come out yet and you're already bashing it.

Dude, grow up.

Lowrider...While at the Emotiva show
discussion/presentation, the owner said that he and Bob
Carver have been personal friends for decades. He said that
they are still good friends. He spoke of Bob good naturedly
and poked fun at Bob's 'mad scientist' persona, bud gave
glowing kudos to Bob as an amp designer. I believe that
they probably came to some agreement that would allow Bob to
continue making amps. Emotiva probably licensed Bob to
continue making amps. When Bob terminated his agreement
with Emotiva, he started up again and just changed the names
of the amps...they still look the same as before.
