How good is Emotiva 2 channel gear??


How does Emotiva compare to NAD, Adcom, Parasound, McIntosh, Classe? Notice that I have included mid-fi and hi-fi...Is their gear really that good for so low a price??

Byston 7 Bsst mono-block pair MSRP is $8k and Emo XPA1 pair is $2k. You do the math. There is no free lunch, brother.
One thing to keep in mind is that their gear is cheap becuase of their business model. They have built a loyal following by doing nothing more than putting out a good product, that should say something about their quality.
No one has really answred the question. I can only assume that no one really has had a lot of experience with Emotiva.
The XPA-2 I have is really a superb sounding amp. I've had Audio Research, Krell, Classe and several other high end power amps over the years and I will be keeping the XPA-2. Huge, deep soundstage and runs cool. Using the XPA-2 with a Musical Fidelity A308 preamp.
I'm curious too, although I would prefer the UPA-2. Any thoughts on how it sounds relative to XPA-2?
