    How are your Wyred4Sound components treating you these days? Let's add that brand to this mix as well. They're another great company worth hazing.
    I found my last amp, at least for a long time. Thanks again for the recommendation.

    I wouldn't get so bent out of shape over it. We are talking about Polk Forums after all.

    Think about this:

    Out of AVSForum, audioholics, hometheatershack, htguide.com, tweakcityaudio.com, audiokarhma.com, avforums.co.uk, partsexpress.com, diyaudio.com and ANY other site I have failed to mention.

    None of them have childish threads like this... The other thing you will find:
    A lot of happy Emotiva owners that have owned:

    Levinson, Lexicon, Adcom, Hafler, PassLabs, Classe, McIntosh, ATI, Rotel, Parasound, Cary, Carver, NAD, Krell etc...

    Who cares, it's a bunch of people on a companies forum who's highest end product costs $2500 (not knocking Polk, just stating an unarguable fact).

    When you wrestle with a pig you both end up dirty and the pig likes it.
    You obviously don't get it and probably never will.

    Since we're so childish, why do you feel the need to bless us with your presence?

    Why oh why do these Emo threads always turn into a pissing match ?

    Look, given any product, by any brand, some will like it, some not. It's when the fanboys start calling Emo a "reference" product that the whips and chains come out. Emo caters to the first time seperates buyer, they know their market targets and build products accordingly. Nuthin' wrong with that. High end, they are not. Reference, they are not. Budget friendly with decent capabilities, yeah, maybe. End of story, nothing more,nothing less.

    Well, don't pick on F1 too much, please. With his shy, retiring ways, it's hard enough to get him to express an opinion as it is without you scaring him !

    Oh, that's great .... we finally get a good looking **** on here and you chase her off !!!!

    :rolleyes:



    BTW: I've been able to obtain, through a bit of covert industrial sabotage, an in-house video showing Emotiva's Marketing Department performing Customer Tolerance Tests (used to establish a base line for customer tolerance):

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GTxW3GWZ5hI














    Okay, so that wasn't a real Emotiva video ...... yeah, it was just a flimsy excuse to sneak in a cat video ..... :o


    If a person buys an AMC car (Hornet, Gremlin), it's all well and good. Not a bad car, not a great car, it's an okay car.
    Just don't try to convince others that it's a Ferrari or Lambo.

    :)


    .... or else I'll post more cat videos.

    High end, they are not.

    seriously...

    What criteria does a piece of audio equipment have to meet that allows it to be called "high end"??

    "High end" is subjective IMHO. As with Fine Wines and automobiles, my general response is if you must ask the cost, you most likely cannot afford it.
