We have decided on a unified approach to cosmetic design throughout the product families. The original XPR appearance does not confirm to this and it tied up too much money in the front panel, and it didn't make it sound any better. Not sure why this was released on AVS forum first... not my department. Sorry. The front panel can fully control the unit without a remote! That's a multi-axis controller, not just a rotary encoder. It allows complete navigation of all menu functions and trims. So, not too many controls are needed now.  The chassis is 4RU and has module bays on the rear for optional modules. The first will be a balanced input expander module, a reference phono module, and there will be a streamer module too. And who knows what else?? So, there you have a scoop!! thanks Dan. |

Care to elaborate on that? Casey |

 Merry Xmas Gary Design not looks very nice i think. could be better. don't like the volume knob in the middle. Personally I like this new look very much. I like it keeping the traditional XPA styling and with the less cluttered face and I like the center control knob which also has the capability to control anything if needed. 4 rack units is an excellent processor size and I am all for XLR only outputs and losing analog video inputs/outputs. I really like how the RMC-1 is headed for most of what I am seeing but I would definitely like to see it available with a 7.2 channel base since I don't feel I need more than 7 channels. |

Order has been restored in the Emotiva world 🌎 . The XPR was certainly something of a once in a lifetime get. I feel privileged. Thanks. It's cool how we all live and learn and it sure looks like the RMC-1 may be the pre/pro that really puts Emotiva over the top. I'll have to check with the local dealer when it's released to give it an audition. |

Wow. Interesting speakers. The new Double Amplifier Modules will allow you to get as much as 14 channels of amplification in a chases, so that would go a long way towards your needs. Casey Yes but dealer network prices has screwed the pricing outside the usa so it's no more the attractive proposition that used to be in the old days at least imho. |

Well, if one ofthe optionalmodules isnot a toaster or a clock, this is just a pile of outdated circuits. All the latest gear has both.  Mark |

How is Lonnie coming along with that XPR clock? :-) |

Please don't make the mistake of making the RMC-1, 7.3.6. There just aren't enough people out there with rooms big enough to warrant 6 overhead speakers.
9.3.4 makes far more sense. 9.1.6 would make it future proof. <-- There is only 1 LFE channel after all
(Aarg did I really type 'future proof')

I want to know where more bed channels is future proofing it. I might have read something wrong but I thought everyone was going away from wide channels. Is this not true?
I won't be using any more than 4 height channels in my current room. But for people with deeper rooms it would seem necessary for 6 height channels.
Please point me to why we want wide channels anymore.

Has there even been a movie(dvd/bluray/uhd) been mastered with 9 channels of discrete base audio(i.e. with wides)? Also....how deep would a room have to be to warrant 6 height channels? My room is only 16' deep(I plan on running 4 height channels).
Edit: There is no way that my wife would ever let me buy this thing, but I'm just curious...Also...isn't there a point when the room just isn't big enough to warrant all of these channels? I plan on moving to 5.1.4, but I'm curious if I added more channels if there just wouldn't be enough separation and might actually hurt the experience instead of help it.

I want to clarify on my post. I am not trying to be a smart butt at all. Heck if wides are going to be used I can definitely use them. But I thought wides were old news.
