Bummer. When is that Rogue Audio RP-3 being released? You mean the RP-5 preamplifier? The Rogue site shows shipping now, and it is listed on the Needle Doctor. RP-5 |

Nope, RP-5 is released and $3500. I do actually mean the RP-3 which will be their entry level Remote Pre-amp. RP-x is to be a family of products.

I found this little snippet from the SoundBites CES 2015 report. RP-3 is in the works that will be priced at $2500 and the top of the range RP-7 fully balanced model will debut later in the year. My wishlist is the Athena preamp. If I win the lotto then the Hera II. |

I dont understand Emotivas approach to informing their customers about products promised in the near future , specifically tube gear , were well into our 2nd year awaiting anything tube from emo & still not a single word , is anything happening at emo with tube gear being a product customers are ever going to see ?
Somebody at the head office should comment on this or at the very least retract all comments & or timelines given by emo staff about release dates of something tube from emo .
Emotiva makes some very nice gear that competes well with ubber high end gear but on the public relations tip emo has dropped the ball in a big way with its 2 channel customers .

I have to agree with you on this. What I have seen is a real focus on home theater and letting the upper end 2 channel go by the wayside. This is one reason I recently bought a very nice used Pass Labs X150 and sold my XPA2. I wanted that next level in 2 channel, but felt raw power was not the answer. Instead super build quality and customer support off the charts. I love Emo products, but the lack on communication and suppor I have seen in recent months has me scared. Now the dropping of an upper level model series, as well as no information on anything lately has kind of sealed the deal. I still want Emo to develop upper echelon 2 channel, maybe tube gear, and a line of speakers that will blow your socks away...............one can dream. |

Agreed,
Last we heard in a thread was that tube product prototypes existed, but tube gear was not a priority at this time, i think that all of us holding our breaths passed out awhile ago.

Not even word yet on if or when a replacement can be expected on an entry level line. Emo is leaving a lot of us questioning what may or may not be coming down the pipe. It would be great to hear something definite... By the way, I am enjoying the XPA-2 I got from you! |

Posted January of 2014. Guess the insiders are not really inside. Within the next 4 - 6 months: almost certainly several moderately priced tube products. Within the next month: probably none. |

Plans change.... and, since we don't anticipate these being a high-volume item, they aren't at the top of the priority list. However, they ARE still ON the list Posted January of 2014. Guess the insiders are not really inside. Within the next 4 - 6 months: almost certainly several moderately priced tube products. Within the next month: probably none. |

Back in December or January, 2015 was touted to be a super exciting year at Emotiva with many new awesome products and big surprises in store. It's now September, 2/3's of the way through the year, and what has happened? If I recall, let's see, a few little DAC's, 2 redundant amps, and the dropping of the entry level and high end amp lines (with only brief discussion of the new entry level being in smaller cases). Did I leave out anything? So yes, I have to agree with you, "questioning" is the right word here. |

Guess the insiders are not really inside. Im not trying to be a thorn in emo's side but ONLY telling us customers tube gear " is on the list " is extremely vague, especially when you take into account the last info we recieved was we'd see tube gear within months , now 2 yrs later its on the list & that sucks . Can we have some answers as to Emotivas future plans as far as products for the 2 channel buyers ? Im gonna give it to ya straight , you guys did some amazing things with 2 channel gear & inticed several 20 plus yrs dedicated Mcintosh buyers ( Myself included ) into buying everything totl from emo's 2 channel line , i myself bought a pair of your XPR1 monoblocks , a single XPR2 , 2 ERC-2's, XDA-1 , RSP-1 , 6 XMC-2's, 2 XMC-6's , all emo power cords & interconnects with the long range plan of tri amping a very special pair of Mcintosh prototype speakers built & owned by Roger Russel , all of my emo purchases were based on Emotivas quality 2 channel products as well as emo's promises of putting out a line of tube gear in association with Bob Carver , now its looking more & more like emo has switched gears & is just gonna continue putting out HT gear that in all honesty isnt that exciting to buyers like myself . For me having a matched system is paramount , not the cost , i have tons of totl Mcintosh gear where 1 amp cost more than all my emo stuff but putting a Mcintosh ( any other manufacturer) tube pre in my emo rig is gonna make it all look like a hot mess of gear just thrown together , i have several ubber high dollar Mc rigs for 2 channel as well as HT & all systems are matched components for aesthetic reasons , surely somebody at emotiva must understand buyers wanting matched systems for aesthetic reasons . Im extremely dissapointed to see that Emotiva has chosen to back away from the 2 channel high end market & invest so little effort into gaining a foothold within the high end community , i really like my totl emo gear & aside from features like Powerguard & Sentry Monitor my emo XPR-1's compare very well against my Mcintosh Mc-1201 mono's, my XPR-2 compares well against my Mcintosh Mc-602 as well so i know you guys can build killer gear but for the life of me i will never understand why Emotivas main focus is keeping up with the latest HT feature that'll be outdated in 18 months vs putting out life time 2 channel tube & ss gear for customers that are dying for it & dont mind spending more money to get it , not every emo customer is expecting or wanting a $299 tube pre or amp guys, nor are we all excited about the latest innovation in HT processing thats quickly outdated . I personally would be willing to pay for a one off emo tube preamp , a 2 channel emo tube amp as well as emo tube monoblocks , even prototype gear tube gear from emo would be acceptable to me & others as well , now i read in another members post emo plans on dropping the high end amp line in favor of more redundant low power amps & HT gear additions , all budget gear in effect . Ive allready got everything top of the line emo has ever made but from the sounds of things to come what i have now is gonna be all i ever have & most likely replaced with Mcintosh electronics, im kinda kicking myself in the rear for not staying with a company who's main focus is 2 channel gear & providing their customers with new & innovative 2 channel products every few yrs , money was never what drew me to Emotiva it was the 2 channel products offered & the companys promise to expand its 2 channel line , i just dont understand the about face emo has done & the non existent expansion of emo's 2 channel line made for buyers who's main interest isnt in keeping up with the yearly changes in HT processing or buying budget gear , thats what Gutar Center is for , long winded but i dont come here often anymore so its gotta be long winded to get my point across , IMO emo has dropped the ball big time as far as 2 channel buyers . |

I purchased a pair of the carver cherry 180's amps during the short time they were working together and was looking forward to the matching tube pre but alas it never happened. I'm looking at the Vincent Sa-t7 or the Rouge Audio Rp5 now. That's $2500 that is going to a different company.

Did I leave out anything? So yes, I have to agree with you, "questioning" is the right word here. This is the 1st ive heard about emo dropping the high end amp line & it really bums me out, im gonna have to call emo service & see how long they plan on offering service of their high end amp line . Well atleast when they said 2015 was gonna be an exciting year it was correct , lots to be dissapointed with in 2015 , the focus on budget gear & abandoning high end lines isnt a good sign of things to come for 2 channel guys , im just happy i only jumped in for about $15k & didnt go whole hog & sell off all my Mcintosh gear & replace with emo totl gear , i came close to selling all the Mac gear but something told me to wait & see how the whole emo tube line deal came down the pipe ,.it appears my concerns were not unfounded , with emo dropping its high end amp line i cant see any reason to stay with emo gear being the promised tube line is just on the bucket list . Ive allways wanted a 1,200 hp Dodge Viper & its on my list too  |
