Emotiva MC-700 audio imaging
How long is the “able to return time”?let the amp warm up a bit.    Had the older xpa1 amps, they did need a bit of on time, but never warmed up to them,. Too bright for me. Bass was descent, mids seemed subdued or veiled, treble was ....It gave m...

Both Schiit and odyssey are good products.    Nothing in your neck of the woods? Trying to get any warranty stuff from across the pond will (could) be a pain in the taint. Several great internet companies which have great customer service. Sweetwa...

CHALLENGE: Best speakers for playing 1812 Overture by Eric Kunzel with real CANON at 92+dB
Those accordion surrounds, never gave me thumping bass, always bottomed them out, and they gave me a flicking paper sound, went with the half roll surround, never looked back.  Had the CV 380SE black felt on speaker face, sounded great, but every ...
