    And here I thought this thread was dead along with your imaginary Emos, Ricardo?

    I guess you can never keep a good Emo DOWN!

    I've never heard Emotiva so I can't comment to its quality.

    I don't blame them for trying to market their product the best way they can. Is it misleading? I'm not going to judge that. Does it work? Obviously since they've generated a buzz on multiple forums.

    What do you expect them to do? Put out lukewarm ads like this one?

    Ricardo, Did you get another replacement from EMOTIVA yet?

    BAT products are impeccable.

    They can make Emo whine like a cold baby left alone on the front porch.

    They will chew up an Emo like a bulldog on a pork chop.

    Go Large or Just Go Home.

    RT1 note--No Emo owners were harmed by the bulldog, but a few were in fact left out in the cold, on the porch, howling like a bulldog.


    How can you even think about comparing BAT with Emotiva ? I would never entertain that idea. BAT is recognized as a symbol of hi-end audio around the world among others such as Audio Research, Krell, Classe just to name a fews. LOL!!!!

    Best bang for the buck, maybe. One step above mass low-end entry AVRs, maybe. Not even fair to compare the Emotiva with Para or Rotel.

    Come one now . Be real, brother.

    Someday, Emo PR will offer you some $$$ just to take that poster down or better yet you will receive a free amp & pre-amp from them for doing just that.

    Are you then an Emo fanboy?:D

    Every time I look at new threads and see this one pop up with the words "last page" I keep hoping that it is exactly that.

    The author (Mr. Litton, I believe) doesn't seem to have been around much lately ... It shouldn't be that hard to send the file, and then you could take yourself to FedEx Kinkos, or anywhere else with large format printers, if the original material is suitable for that level of enlargement ... Otherwise, somebody might also have to provide him with a decent image of the unit itself.
    Alea jacta est!

    I don't think so... Elitists like him probably listen to the actual bands or musicians performing live and exclusively for him. Anything else would be beneath the dignity of his temporary office.;)

    Well, seriously. The Pass goes in my 2 channel rig. That's sacred territory and sound matters. Synergy and all that.

    Home Theater? That's a different story.

    Emo....Emo...Emo...Emo...

    They are pretty and have blue leds.

    and of course only watts matter, because its like the more you have the better everything is duhhhh???

    and after owning the stuff and listening to it...ummm...I'm not sad to let it go....nope...

    maybe we should just start our own company and attach blue or green LED lights to everything like fisher price speakers for gradeschoolers and increase the cost by like 300% and claim its reference material....oh wait they already did that...my bad.

    I like pretty lights as much as the next guy, but those things could double as blue tinted searchlights.

    I like having my rack all lit up by gear. It's like Christmas year round.
