Will the new XMC be made by Tonwinner?

Yes ;D

I must have missed the joke. Is that a yes or a no?

Don't beat around the bush, tell us what you really know ;D

I fully agree with Bill...it's the way things are designed and built these days....You hire someone to design a product (or you design it yourself), you hire someone to build the product and then you brand it and sell it. In some cases, you buy a generic product, make some changes (or not), put on a unique label or faceplate and then market it. Nothing wrong with that...it's a very efficient business model.

I am more interested in what will be carried over from the UMC-1 and I've started another thread to discuss that question....and where folks can ask technical/design questions.

Labor practices in China, who owns or invests in Tonewinner, who does the design for boxes that Tonewinner builds; who writes the building blocks used to build the software, who else tonewinner sells OEM boxes to don't really don't have an impact on the technical merits of the box that Emotiva will sell and support, which they will call the XMC. They're interesting topics...but let's try to keep them in a separate thread per LC's sticky post about the forums.

And how do you know that Big Dan does not own or have interest in the manufacturing entity known as Tonewinner? It was said over and over that Emotiva is a house brand name...

My company owns and controls two manufacturing entities in China, neither of which use our company's name. Nor indeed do the two use the same names...

I truly believe that if someone posted "it's blue", several of the active members here would start a discussion on whether the b in blue should be capitalized and we would have two pages of discussion on that point including a discourse on the fact that the original poster should have been more specific as to what color blue he was refering to.

I still believe my post #13 was correct. A simple question was asked....and it was answered with a single word. We now have two pages of posts, including this one, that are not even tangentially related to the original question/topic.

Where is our moderator who just yesterday told us he was removing this type of banter so we could concentrate on topics which is the purpose of this forum. Yes...TOPICS....as a reminder, that's the stuff in bolder black on top of this and every post and in the index.

And I readily admit that this post should be removed along with every post since post #2 in this topic.

I won't be deleting this thread nor have I ever deleted any other thread unless it was a double up. I have however deleted the way off postings. I sense that some of the members see a gray area and want more of a clarification, therefore I won't be "locking" this thread either. Personally I read some sarcasm into Lonnie's response.

;D

To explain my above posts, on the iPhone app it does not show any smiley faces. I could only see a ; and a D side by side. When I asked about this I see the ; and D but you see a smiley if you are on a computer.

Hope that makes sense.
