Everyone has opinions on things. Opinions are like a******s noses, everyone has one. Doesn't make anyone an absolute authority on things. Let's stay on topic please. Just for clarity sake, is the topic RMAF amps or the circular political "all amps sound the same" topic that memotiva is stirring up for no productive reason? Clearly the topic is "Emotiva Amps at RMAF" so people should keep their opinions of how different amps sound (to them) out of this thread. |

Over the years I have seen pics of Emotiva Amps with a lot different speakers. All you have to do is go to this Thread : what does your room look like with your emo gear?
What I have really noticed is a lot of folks using Emotiva Amps to drive the big B&W speakers.
Always enjoyed this article about the Emotiva the company. www.soundandvision.com/content/emotiva-good-deal-or-real-deal.
If I did not live in an apartment I would get me some Salk Veracity HT3's and some XPA-1's for them.
The other day my Mini-X a-100 fell from 4 foot and hit the floor and did not even phase it. If you ever get to feel and see an Emotiva Amp in person, they are built like tanks ! There Beast's ! I don't see how they can sell them for the price they do but I am no Nut Ball and you won't catch me complaining about it. 
Like Dan said the other day, Re-Think Greed.

Clearly the topic is "Emotiva Amps at RMAF" so people should keep their opinions of how different amps sound (to them) out of this thread. Thank you! Different people are entitled to have opinions on what makes Emotiva great. The blind tests that have been done on different amps have shown that inside of their linear range, people can't tell them apart. That's actually what makes Emotiva great. Their business model gives you high quality amps at a reasonable price so you can get the power you need at a much better price than traditional amplifiers. The people using XPA-5 at the show could have spent a lot more money on something from NAD, Krell, etc, but in the end they wouldn't have had their equipment sound better. Perhaps its your emotions making you perceive something here, perhaps not, but if my understanding of the value of Emo amps is off, then please, feel free to show me how their value goes beyond my understanding. Everyone has their own opinion as to why Emotiva's products and business model is great. Should you feel that mine is wrong, please feel free to throw out some data that proves my opinions wrong and I'd happy to change my mind. |

I live in the PNW. I'm very familiar with what passive aggressive behavior is. That said, someone schooled in mental health would know that while this type of behavior is a concept and not a condition and thus it doesn't have to be capitalized. Given that passive aggressive behavior isn't a condition and I doubt that you're legally able to diagnose someone then it really is not a fact. That all ignores that there's no much passivity in my communication. It's rather direct. Thanks for the personal insult though.

"Hi mem, I posted some points of disagreement on the which amp sounds the best thread."
That was a pretty minor part of my original post. Some people here get rather emotional when you bring something like that up though.
"Just for clarity sake, is the topic RMAF amps or the circular political "all amps sound the same" topic that memotiva is stirring up for no productive reason?"
It's far from just me stirring anything here.

This is not your personal twitter feed this is an A/V Lounge. We come here to read and talk about A/V stuff. Every now and then we talk about other stuff but we are civil about it. |

It is unfortunate that the tone in this thread had deteriorated. Rather than sticking to the topic (which is about Emotiva amps at RMAF) some here have served to derail the thread by posting their opinions (even if touted as 'facts') about this and that. In the spirit of light moderation, the mod team has decided to let the course of events proceed so that things can work themselves out through cordial dialogue. Unfortunately opinions prevail and spin into name-calling, personal insults and worse. As I have mentioned before, opinions are like a******s noses, everyone has one but most of us end up aligning ourselves with only one or two. That doesn't invalidate others' and doesn't call for putting them down. It's just that those should be reserved for appropriate threads and not strewn about everywhere. With apology to the OP, I am closing this thread so the decent people of the lounge are spared from further drivel. Have a nice day!  |
