    Wait... when did you go nationwide? Are there tour posters? 'Cause I would totally rock a "Your Amp Is Bull@#$t Tour 2012" poster on my wall. :wink:

    I'm just working towards my 100 posts, it's taken awhile!

    This is where the thread started to spiral down and out of control. Now, whether there is truth in that statement or not doesn't really matter. Prior to that post it was a reasonable thread.

    Now I just find it funny - not a smidge of good info after that!

    One more post closer to 100...

    Just like a scary movie. It.........just.........won't............die.

    You gotta admit though, unless you press the "post" button, you don't have a dog in the fight.
    I have been following this thread, but, and this is a rare occasion....I have not posted.:eek:.
    Basically, it has happened so many times in the past, for once, personally, I thought I would keep my mouth shout.
    YMMV!:biggrin:

    I just figured my post was as relevant to the OP's thread as F1nut's was...

    DAMN - two posts in one day!! Just think, at this rate I'll have 100 sometime in 2015!

    If we're all gonna crap on a thread - let's make it a colorful, fun crap. Still stinks, but at least it's got an entertainment factor.

    That's the spirit!! Who else wants to either post crap or just up their post count?

    Original OP - my sincere appology for this but after F1nut crapped on your thread and then the followers-on got involved it's a wasted thread anyway. I'm not sure why this place can't be cleaned up or why you can't post an honest opinion without someone turding up the place.

    There's a reason I have so few posts in the amount of time I've been here. And this thread represents the classic reason why..

    Some people who own EMO gear do go overboard,I own EMO cause well I didn't want used.It is entry level.

    Serious question:

    What makes it "entry" level?? The price?? Because its made in China?? Does it use inferior parts compared to more expensive amps????

    Around here pretty much because the audio gods deem it so. No rhymn or reason & how dare you question them!!! Shame on you for even asking. Truth be told they don't have a clue just an empty opinion. No different than other manuf such as McIntosh, Krell, PASS, BAT, Musical Fidelity etc., etc. No maunf., no matter how much their amps costs are immune to being bashed. It's the nature of the hobby...snobbery to the highest degree.
