    LOL True dat Fred. He liked it better with the cover off....something about them components in there. The wife tells me he was checking out the Krell KSL phono board recap too. I had left the cover off while I was checking voltages, so I had to put the cover back on it today. It might be good for him to get a little bite from it.:twisted::cheesygrin:

    Next month he may have a real burner to try out. A Krell KSA-250.:eek:

    Just got an Emotiva UPA-200 to push a pair of LSi15's. Sounds really good to me plus I read somewhere that AV Receivers don't really push all 5 or 7 speakers at the rated Watts. For example my Sony 4400ES rated at 120W per CH but when you use 7 speakers its probably pushing below 100 per. From my understanding the 120 is for 2 CH. Either way I'm happy with the Emo and I plan on getting another one for the surrounds.

    For the record I never recieved a Catalog either, though I'm not sure if they send cross border..
    After reading this thread I have see many people that have posted very negative comments about Emo on NEWER threads actually being a lot more civil in this thread..

    wait til you try a bigger emo Amp. my LSi speakers sounds great with my XPA-3 and XPA-2. i have yet to hear then on a XPA-1 tho. before i had my Emo gear i had a Cinova grade 5. i sold it and replaced it with my EMO amps and im happy with my choice.

    The UPA-200 is one of the better buys I've made in audio. Right up there with the Yamaha A-S500 integrated amp. The bang for buck is fantastic with this model Emotiva. Frightening to think I could have paid a great deal more for some 'boutique' snake oil amp, or some over-hyped and over-priced used clunker. My Lsi7s sound amazing with this inexpensive, new amp with a 5-year warranty! All for $349! Wow.

    Two Channel Setup:

    Speakers: Wharfedale Opus 2-3
    Integrated Amp: Krell S-300i
    DAC: Arcam irDac

    Remote Control: iPad Mini

    3.2 Home Theater Setup:

    Fronts: Klipsch RP-160M
    Center: Klipsch RP-160M
    Subwoofer: SVS PB12NSD (X 2)
    AVR: Yamaha Aventage RX-A2030

    The fronts and the center channel are where you really need the power.
    Looks like it is at $314 on sale now. Using that for the fronts then you should be okay for Sony to handle the rest. Of course you could get the XPA-3 later on and use it for the rears.

    True. My mistake for just doing a quick glance, and then making an assumption.

    To be honest, while I understand the business model, design in USA, manufacture in China, and sell over Internet, I just cannot get a gripe on the crazy low prices with the claim of using premium components, 5 year warranty, and free shipping. Maybe other manufacturers gear does have higher margins than Emotiva, but selling a 1000w (4 ohm) monoblock for $850 cannot be providing much profit. Something just does not add up.


    cheap Chinese labor?

    Unreal price for a new 125/200 watt amp with a five year warranty. Lsi7s love this thing.

    Running 3 UPA1s on my LSi15s and Lsic and 2 upa2s on my lsi7s. I also have the XDA1 DAC. Very happy with the sound in a bang for the buck application. I do feel as if I could do better. I really won't know until I have something to compare them too besides a AVR! Then again maybe I shouldn't.
