Information on Emotiva

I looking for feedback on Emotiva equipment.

I am need a new setup for home theater and music. I stumbled across Emotiva and found the specs and pricing to be great.

I have Revel M22 bookshelf speakers and their matching center channel.

Comments are welcome. My budget is around $1,500 for a new receiver but this appears to be great way to go.

Thanks

I have heard a lot stronger buzz about their amps than their Pre's and CDP's. Here is a suggestion:

Outlaw Audio Model 990 - $699 (a proven performer)
Emotiva XPA-3 - $599 or XPA-5 - $799, depending on how many channels you need to drive. All that power should be a good combination with the Revels.

If you need the latest video and audio processing in your pre, then the UMC-1 is probably necessary and an economical choice. If you just want to preamplify multi-channel analog sound from your player, the older Outlaw would be a safer bet. Outlaws new 997 processor will cost double the current 990 and listed UMC-1 price of $699. But who knows, the UMC-1 may sound as good as or better than other processors costing double and more - just have to wait and see...
