Emotiva is Italian for emotion. Big Dan chose the name for the passion and emotion he has for audio.

Emotiva is Italian for emotion. Big Dan chose the name for the passion and emotion he has for audio. Well, thats not quite true. Emotion in Italian is "emozione". There are a couple of other ways to say it but none come close to Emotiva. The word emotive in Italian is "emotivo" and thats much closer. Take it from a 100% Italian  Emotiva is a pretty name though... |

From emotiva.com/about/"Emotiva is named for Dan's - and his teams' - passion. Their excitement at changing the game. Their emotional involvement with great music and film, and their dedication to changing the world of high-end audio. While the team has grown over the years, everyone at Emotiva still hews to the same basic values: to deliver amazing performance and quality, at unheard of prices, with real, straight answers from enthusiasts who actually use the equipment everyday." I want to say that the wording changed at some point. I recall it saying something simpler about audio and emotion. |
