First of all thank you all very much for your kind words; also many thanks to LCSeminole for making this a sticky. looking good. Might I sugget adding a font size on .TopMenu_2 and going larger. You can drop home off the list and make the logo the home page redirect to gain the space. Never been a fan of 10pt sans-serif fonts Using font-size: small; would be the standard. Also for compadibility I would also change the type to font-family: arial,sans-serif; But it looks like it is coming together nicely. If you need any assistance please let me know. Tony Thanks Tony; I'll see how it looks 1 size bigger. I tend to use exact font size in pixels since it will be rendered the same on all browsers. On the Comparison tab, it would be great to compare two current models as opposed to 1 current and 1 discontinued. But overall, it's pretty awesome! I think I have a version with that exact behavior, following a discussion with Jim. At some point I remember asking the question "what if someone wants to compare 2 discontinued amps?". I will upload the changes shortly.

Good work guys, it will be great to have a reference like this.
One site that does a good job in a similar vein is arcdb.ws - a reference for Audio Research Corp equipment. Something I like there is that they have both "Introduced" (year) and "Discontinued" (year), giving you the lifespan of the product.
Nice job!

The RPA-1 and 2 and some of their older gear like MPS line which all have their own power supplies per channel are all seriously cool gear! The RPA series appear to be dual monoblock designs! Very nice.

Any chance we could get service manuals and schematics posted as well?

Any chance we could get service manuals and schematics posted as well? I really wish it were possible; I emailed them in regards to schematics for at least the discontinued products, possibly amps only since they're not too complicated, but this type of documents is not for the public. Also, very surprising to me, were the results of a previous poll I made a while ago here on the forum: only about a quarter of the respondents were voting Yes to publishing schematics (Yes=9 votes 23.6%, No=29 votes 76.3%). You can read about it here emotivalounge.proboards.com/index.cgi?action=display&board=amps&thread=25661&page=1. Now you just need some sponsorship ..... emo maybe:) Hehehee.... yeah, that would be something.

Thank you! I used to look at the retired gear section on the old Emotiva site fairly frequently and really missed it once it was gone.Having this available is great and very much appreciated.Looking forward to having the additional items added but for me it was the amps that I looked at most often so doing them first seems perfect to me. I vote for speakers as the next category to add.

I vote for speakers as the next category to add. I think I managed to gather information on most of the former speakers. It might be some time before we can get them up on the site -- Emotiva has made a TON of different speakers throughout the years. I can't remember if the current ones are essentially the third or fourth generation even!

. Something I like there is that they have both "Introduced" (year) and "Discontinued" (year), giving you the lifespan of the product. Nice job! The "year" (in the Comparison) is a field that I tried to populate based on when it appeared on the site. I don't know that it's 100% accurate and it was hard to determine when the product stopped shipping. I'm not sure how I can get accurate introduction/discontinuation dates - without some help from Emotiva. Maybe I can ask.

Well I think it's terrible. I think the best part is that I'm half awake............... and I fixated on your first line before reading the rest and just laughed..... I thought it was funny.

Minor screen format bug. when comparing the EPM-300 to the XPR-5 the long information on the 4ohm line causes the rest to be off shifted by 1 line. Thanks. Attachments:

Very cool nice work! Is a XPA-200 current? I was under the impression it was discontinued.
