| What's the latest word on the Emotiva UMC-1? >>James, when I owned the Onkyo there were even more complaints. They were resolved for anyone who waited. MOST UMC-1 owners seem to be quite happy after the updates. So what are you so upset about? Don't buy it, but don't attack something y... | |
| What's the latest word on the Emotiva UMC-1? James, I have no idea of what you're talking about, but if you rely on forums nonsense that's what you'll end up with.So here's some "truth" to chew on:1) Before I ordered my UMC-1 I contacted Emotiva and they outlined the problems that still exis... | |
| What's the latest word on the Emotiva UMC-1? You never really answered my question above. Are you "beating" Audessey with an 11 band graphic EQ, with fixed frequencies and no adjustable Q?>>>Easily. And I'll make it very simple. I can almost always improve on what the the Integra pr... | |
| What's the latest word on the Emotiva UMC-1? James, do what I did. Wait until the dust settles before buying a processor from anyone. 4-6 months is usually fine. I usually do that with ANY gear of this type, even DSLRs. By doing that I ended up with an incredible processor for 1/4 the cost o... | |
| What's the latest word on the Emotiva UMC-1? Well, I have limited experience with the Anthem 2, especially in setting one up. It's a very good sounding unit.Most people won't admit that "most" of the automatic EQ systems don't work well. It's a shame because even a 400 dollar Denon receiver ... | |
| What's the latest word on the Emotiva UMC-1? My friends and I don't "think" we can beat Audessey. We know we can as we've easily improved on it time after time. It's not even CLOSE to what we were able to finally achieve after taking real time to dial in the system.Again, it's EASY to accept... | |
| What's the latest word on the Emotiva UMC-1? I've used the best processors from Denon, Marantz and Onkyo. The Denon and Onkyo units lived in my systems. I've also heard plenty of other units out there. I think they're all pretty good, but generally can't do analogue 2 channel very well. So w... | |
| Spica TC-60 vs. Merlin & Totem I was corrected that the Spica baffle had dense felt and not foam.Rob | |
| What's the latest word on the Emotiva UMC-1? Well, James....in this case insane refers to the fact that Emotiva has several items on the market that are priced at a 3rd of what they should be. The vast majority of those who bash companies like Emotiva, Outlaw and several other direct-to-buye... | |
| What's the latest word on the Emotiva UMC-1? Well...I have directly compared the Emotiva XPA-3 & XPA-2 to some fairly good SS amps. You can do an search and see my comparison between the Emotiva XPA-3 and Rotel 1090, Odyssey Stratos and so on.I have always wondered how people judged amps... | |
| What's the latest word on the Emotiva UMC-1? PS: No one should take this too seriously! It's just audio gear and most of us will have totally different stuff in 5 years anyway.Except for my Merlin speakers, which I may be buried with!Rob | |
| What's the latest word on the Emotiva UMC-1? Chadnliz, have you listened to the UMC-1 vs. the Onkyo and Marantz models that cost many times the price? If so was it with the same amps?I'm only asking because I have heard these products. I have no stock in any of them. If the Marantz, Denon or... | |
| What's the latest word on the Emotiva UMC-1? Hi JamesTo name expensive products that fall short of less expensive ones is not hard to do. I recently posted a shootout between CD players costing over 3K vs. a Oppo player that cost 300 dollars. In the world of speakers I've heard models costin... | |
| What's the latest word on the Emotiva UMC-1? GHstudio,You're correct as I do have a dedicated theater room that has been rebuilt to achieve good sonics. But I've had this debate before and I maintain that I can easily do better tuning a system in ANY room than the various systems out there. ... | |
| What's the latest word on the Emotiva UMC-1? The Anthem D2v is an expensive unit that I have heard several times. Have you compared it's sound to the Emotiva unit? Have you compared a highly regarded amp like the Odyssey Stratos or Parasound Halo to the Emotiva using a good pre-amp?Your comm... |
