Review of Emotiva Processors


I am trying to decide whether to go from a high end receiver to a pre/pro system. I am strongly considering the Emotiva as a mid level unit and couple with a Rotel or outlaw amp on some KLipsches. I cannot find much on Emotiva. People are just selling them but no indication why. Also very few reviews to learn if they are any good.

Thoughts?

I just got the UMC-1/UPA-7 from an Onkyo TX SR906. Moved the 906 to the bedroom and the UMC-1 and UPA-7 will go into the family room.
Though the UMC-1 was a bit buggy at first, Emotiva has put out a few updates that have corrected the issues. What is unbelieveable is that through the forum, owners have requested additional features(like all channel stereo) that have been added as a feature AFTER the design of the unit through software updates.
Big difference between the Onkyo and the Emotiva operation is the POWER!
There are a few reviews from HT reviewers on the Emotiva website. Check it out.
IMHO, the build quality is excellent and it sounds great for SS. But not like my COnrad JOhnson 2 channel tube gear though.
Hope this helps.
