Emotiva HC-1 MonoBlock Review and thoughts

[techman]

This Mono Block is Amazing especially for the price.

I have had alot of Power amplifiers from Rotel to the old Sherwood Newcastle power amps, and for the bang for buck, this one sits on top of the list. It is very dynamic and transparent. It has a small form factor but packs an amazing punch. 

Pros :

+ Style 
+ Transparent sound
+ Size
+ Dynamic 
+ Fast 
+ Would not get hot.
+ Quiet to run

Cons :

- Look might not suit everyone
- Small form factor looks not intimidating enough next to BIG Beautiful speakers
- Comes in one color. 

What i would like :

* More colors
* The top part to be transparent so you could see the component 
* Add more weight to it Even if its in a form of actually weights. 

Bottom line, this Mono Block punches above its weight class and would be a great addition to anyone who wants to add a power amp to their setup or is ristricted by space / budget.

Here is the video review i have done :

If you have any questions let me know as this will be in my system for some time. 

Thank you.

Question, do you have two of these running a two channel system?
