Well i received my Ultra 10 today.This is the purchase that has scared me the most.I just did not think it would make that big of a difference.Again, keep in mind that this is for music only.I like my music to be clean and punchy.Listen to a lot of prog, jazz, and hardrock.I'm running this 10 with the Emo 6.2's.Have the Emo Pre set at 80 powered by the UPA2 .My next move will be the mono blocks.I'll check those out at EMO FEST..Anyway, i put a cd in the player and at the same time saying a little prayer.My prayer was answered.My jaw hit the floor..It made everything so much cleaner and tighter.I really have to give a big thanks to Dan and his whole staff.They are so great to work with.I don't think you could go wrong with anything they make.So what's next,only EMO Fest will tell.Take care all my musical and home theater brothers.

Hey, great story! I get my Ultra 12 today. My only fear is that I have to go pickup my wife at the airport and will probably miss today's attempt. I will try the prayer thing too! I did speak with Lonnie about this and he is very familiar with the AV123 sub I currently have so I am pretty sure that I will be very happy!

sticknstones, let me know what you think ?I would think that running the 12 with those Bowers and Wilkins 804's would be awsome.Also see that you have the XPA 3.More power to ya, or should i say praise the lord. later Bro

I just unpacked my Ultra sub 12 tonight. I couldn't even listen to my 6.2's until I hooked it up. Good luck with your set-up.

Saturnx , please let me know how the 12 sounds ? I may want to run a 12 upstairs when i get the mono blocks.Have a larger room up there.Looking at some DALI ICONS to kind of break it up.But will still need a sub.

Life is good fellas! I just got back from the airport and I mean not 5 minutes before I had to leave for the airport the Fed-ex truck pulls up in the drive way. I had to put it in the garage till tomorrow but will break it out as soon as I can.

ckeyser My bedroom is huge and this sub pumps sound into just about every square inch! I'm no expert on setting up subs, this will be my first time. Once I get an USP-1 I am going to put it in my family room which is even larger. I'm betting it will be a challenge for me to set it up in there. At the moment I've split my pre out of my Marantz 2252 and fed the sub and my Upa-2 for a kick butt very solid and open sound stage. Thumbs up to Emotiva!!
Does anybody know if these subs have a break in period?.. will these beasts mellow a bit with age?...thanks
Steve
