How are the beta units doing? That is all I want to know. I was thinking just that, while reading from the top. How many folks are being hush about it right under our noses. Djoel Yes....there has to be some testers among us......Probably being told to be vewwy, vewwy quiet...

Personally, I don't need any teaser. I am happy to wait. That said, posting pix of the first production sure would be cool to see! You know, with Dan and Lonnie standing there with a giant pair of scissors cutting a giant ribbon to officially open production. And, of course, Ray and the guys from MDS holding a couple circuit boards...

This should be fun to watch Emo start the XMC-1 'roll-out', and read the first users experiences! Looking forward to it!

Yup,I'm on the list. I know I will not be first, but I am ecstatic that the unit is being built in the US. Love it...!

Has the description of the XMC-1 always said Ethernet Audio for the second zone? Yes Eltwo since at least last emofest as I noticed the reference for 2ch audio for 2nd zone ethernet audio so I asked Mark to enquire at the time as to whether the ethernet streaming for the main zone could accept multichannel as well Answer was possibly but no firm plans at the time . Hey we'll know somethings changed when 'obselesce' is changed to 'obsolescence' possibly...

I'm still trying to find out how it transmits the calibration signals to the speakers. It appears an ethernet cable connects to the PC but they use a USB stick to upload the curve to the processor. So, how do the test tones get from the PC to the speakers? Also, I hope the Dirac room correction SW works well with good old 2 channel stereo, which is what I have.

You can have the candy and flowers on Valentine's Day, but I will take an XMC-1. That would be the "sweetest" gift I can imagine finding on February 14th. I have been lusting for the XMC-1 for six years. I can hardly wait for the "Honeymoon" to get started. PS Chuckienut, get your mind out of the gutter.

At least RR isn't lusting after his XMC-1 exactly like Geebo lusts after his 8.3. BTW Ronny, the XMC-1 doesn't have a .......... oh never mind.
I bought a used UMC-200, but since a small windfall just arrived, I might still buy an XMC-1, either to use or sell. However, if it is delayed much more I'll have to put it in my will.

I was thinking that with less than a month away, the people on the list would be contacted to see if they were still buyers. Has anyone been contacted yet?

I don't see why Emotiva would do that this long before the release date. Currently increasing the "put-aside" in Steve's entertainment account

Well, I've been on the list about as long as Ronnie RR. Should be an interesting Spring... Hope they don't put little valentine heart stickers all over the first few.

Has there been any communication from Emotiva about release info, such as how many units are expected to be released on the first shipment? I doubt it... but I thought I'd ask.

Do we have any idea how many people are on the waiting list? My assumption would be that the first shipment will cover the waiting list at least, but maybe the waiting list is so long that's not practical? Emotiva were very quick with sending out the ERC-3, mine was sent a couple days before the advised release date.
If Friday 14th Feb is the despatch date then those on the waiting list should be contacted very shortly to pay their money. Maybe Friday 14th Feb is the pay your money day, in which case those on the waiting list should be contacted in a week or so to pay their money. The again maybe Friday 14th Feb is the day that those on the waiting list will be contacted to pay their money.
It's like a rocket launch, do we have ignition on Friday 14th Feb or is that lift off day? Time will tell.
Cheers Gary

I'm not expecting my turn to come up within the first few weeks. I would think there are plenty on the preorder list that will proceed with the purchase and it is going to take time to get them out the door.
We will know soon enough.
Dave.

If it operates like the UMC-1 waiting list, pre-order deliveries were liberally salted with full-price purchases. This makes sense from a business perspective, and I wouldn't expect Emotiva to do it differently this time around.
