Pascal amp board? So it's Class D?

Pascal amp board? So it's Class D? with 250w x 11 channels in a chassis that size its a good bet imo  |

Bit confusing putting an avr in the processor section Nick ? With future pre pro's based on the RMC1 too a bit of diversification may help ; but whatevers logical I agree with; the old XMR1 is of course now the RMC1 |

I'm discouraged to hear about this. Going to a sourced amplifier practically puts Emotiva out of the amplifier design business and Class D at that! I'm more disapointed that Emotiva, with a small engineering staff, has spent time on such a product when they are late on delivering needed products such as the HDMI boards and the Atmos boards for the XMC-1,2,3,whatever, and the RMC-1. We'll see, I want Emotiva to succeed, but this gives me concern. First switched power supplies and now Class D - dang it all!

Yes, the Pascal modules ARE Class D. Pascal amp board? So it's Class D? |

Agreed, But it is an Emotiva prepro with somebody else’s amp section, isn’t it?
Edited

Agreed. The other thread, technologically speaking, is like 20 years old. |

We'll see, I want Emotiva to succeed, but this gives me concern. First switched power supplies and now Class D - dang it all! I see it differently, they’ve taken the development work on the XMC-1 and RMC-1 and added an outsourced amp. It seems most of the work they’ve done here is design packaging, and amp research. Since they have no real history with Class D it seems like a good way to get their feet wet, and there has to be down time when primary projects are paused waiting for other work. I hear your concerns, and I certainly don’t want the RMC/XMC and upgrades to be delayed, but I’m interested to see what they come up with. |

Well honestly it's a fantastic product. Look at it! An all in one super AVR - that's what it is. It's going to outclass everything else on the market. Basically an XMC-1/RMC-1 with amps.
They've also put in class D which means that if people want to explore the rest of the line up - well you've got class A/B.
Unfortunately its price means they are going to need to come out with a lower end unit if they want the emo regulars at this forum to jump in. It's just a lot of cash. For a super end-all be-all AVR, probably about right. But for us, ouch!

Agreed it’s expensive, but the same price or less than the RMC-1 which it shares heavily with, so they’ve already breached that price point. |

It seems like my $500 six year old Pioneer AVR will continue to fit the bill.

Agreed, But it is an Emotiva prepro with somebody else’s amp section, isn’t it? Edited I think most people would call it an AVR regardless of who makes the amps. The old XMR-1 thread should just die, it’s been replaced by two RMC-1 threads with more accurate and up to date information. |
