Screw built in powered subwoofers. They require you to place them near power outlets, the added complexities would certainly effect long term reliability and most importantly, subwoofers rarely sound best where the main speakers sit. I'm not going to try to change your mind on this subject because it seems most people have very strong opinions on the subject, and it seems to be a very polarizing topic of opinions. All I will say is that no speaker systems are perfect, and using separate subs also has a long list of negatives associated with them. And somewhat typical of someone who prefers separate subs, you failed to even mention the long list of positives associated with built in subs. I think it really depends on what you are looking for in your system and what you use it for. And of course what kind of music you listen to. |

Exactly. Product development here at Emotiva is a team effort, unlike some companies. And if there's anybody you should be petitioning about new products, it's Dan. He's the one that writes the checks. There are plenty of great ideas out there in the audio world, but not all of them have what it takes to be a large-scale commercial success, which is what we're after. That's what keeps the lights on. We are focused on concepts that already have broad appeal, so we will take all the suggestions you can offer, and we will try to roll them in somehow, but don't be too disappointed if what we create doesn't look totally like what you were thinking of. |

I don't know what that means? High end doesn't have much to do with ultimate sound quality, though the very top 2% IS pretty pricy, but rather simply cost. You can get 90% of the 'best' for a fraction the price. Original Advent (large) is a perfect example. When they came out, at about 125$ per or less in a plain enclosure, not much was even close. Original Adcom 555 (Pass Design) was well regarded and even has a used value today. I doubt my '70s Kenwood KA-7100 would even be worth the shipping cost, though it continues to function well. That's because audiophiles even though they say there in it for the sound or music are really just drawn to the gear. In the words of Steve Guttenberg " You don't need the gear to listen to music, you need the gear because you like gear." I can confuse you more if you want.  That's OK, Axis, you would appear confused enough for BOTH of us.  |

How shocked would we all be if Emotiva released a small line of products aimed at the .001%. Maybe a $30,000 amplifier and a $10,000 CD player. Oh, and 1 meter interconnects priced at $4,500.

Thanks Rory. By the way, talk to Lonnie about the old DSP subwoofer amplifier idea as a stand alone product. I'd still like one. Oh, and the toaster. |

Make it a toaster OVEN and I'm there. Market needs a high quality toaster oven, well insulated and capable of making good toast.
Bring it in for <85$ retail and I'm there.
