I'm just curious if we have any word on any receiver(s) that Emotiva will be offering in the "near" future? I think I briefly saw or heard some mention of a $1500 receiver from the CES coverage? Will there be another $500ish option? Personally, I thought the Fusion 8100 was a hugely strong contender in the receiver market, paying the same or a little more than an entry level Onkyo would net you Emotiva awesomeness, and I hope they bring something similar out soon! Only providing a $1500 receiver would be disappointing to many I'm sure.

I would love to know as well. I can't find any info online at all.

I would like to see an entry level, plus another higher end receiver. Something along the lines of the Sherbourn SR-120 would do wonders for sales of Emotiva I would think.

There was another AVR in the pipeline (8300 or 8500, do not remember) but it never went to production. That and the focus on separates for the new lines (other than the integrate stereo amps), makes me think sales of the 8100 were not what hoped for. I have a Fusion 8100 and very happy with it. A new Emotiva AVR would certainly be worth a look. |

When I see what the likes of Marantz, Denon and Yamaha ask for their latest receivers I think Emotiva can get in on that action...and for less money. |

Well, a 2RU, Dirac enabled, 7-ch AVR with say 7x100W all channels driven and 2x150W in stereo, obtained combining and slightly re-specifying the EMP-1 and EDA-7 would be sweet. Sell it for $1,200-$1,400 and we may have a winner. I would be happy even with a 5-ch AVR. |

Expandable 5 channel AVR would be good. Owning Emo gear has been a major learning experience for me. I think having AVR's that are able to be updated would be a better investment - especially on the grounds that if you're living in a typical household, you may not have the money to upgrade your receiver the full cost every 2-5 years when technologies change.
I think that is one of the biggest selling points of the XMC-1, and some of the new Pre's coming out.

I'm usually a buyer that doesn't get in at the bleeding edge. But after what I've read and watched on Auro 3D, I don't think I would buy an AVR without 4k, HDR, HDCP 2.2, Auro 3D and Dolby Atmos. My sense is that these technologies will be the mainstream in the next decade. I almost got the XMC-1 about a year ago but decided to wait it out a bit so I sold my upgrade card.
What I would like to see from Emo would be a separate audio processor and video processor (like Bryston and others) that's cheaper than the other brands. Probably most of us here in the forum already have enough separate amps that we don't the amp section in the AVR anyways.

They have announced a 4k upgrade "module" for some of their AVRs: hometheaterreview.com/nad-announces-4k-ready-mdc-program/Still not cheap, but less money than buying a whole new AVR. I had a NAD T-752 before I got my Fusion 8100. Nice sounding unit, no frills, very solid amps, gobs of "real" power |

I honestly don't think that anything around $1200 to $1500 would help them in the avr section specially when for 500 more you would be able to get separates. With that said a 5.2 or 7.2 with 85 to 100 watts per Chanel and upgradeable around a grand would be lovely to see.
