    I don't understand what's the deal with EMO. I am looking into getting one of their pretty amps to power my HT. They are VERY powerful. Watts is what makes and amp good and all amps sound the same. Geez.

    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.

    What do you mean John...I heard Obama is refitting the entire WH with Emo gear as a cost-cutting measure...it's so value-oriented it may help balance the budget!

    After a "joint" or two, those blue LED lights really dance . I bet you Obama loves Emo. :D

    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.

    like for realz i text u like forever like, duh, like how didnt u no that...


    and why not have a thread 43 pages long, I owned the stuff, and still have some stuff, I'm just sick of the people that claim its the best there ever was, will be, and compare it to krell and other brands like that, which they probably have never heard and then have to complain all the time when someone buys a different amp...

    yeah its pretty annoying, sorry. as for their gear, its OK but as I said, I'm not sad to let it go, still got 2 mono blocks I'll be selling probably soon so I can get some better monos just not sure what I'm getting next hmmm.....

    and honestly I never put up a christmas tree, I just put an angel on top of my amps, except it go to hot and started her on fire, hmm guess she must of went to hell...

    WE is all the people who are of tired of people bashing a certain brand......i cant be the only one!
    Seriously, ive never heard a emo amp so i cant post a relevant review,but i wouldnt bash them or someone else, if they choose to spend their mony in that direction....just my .02

    Wouldnt say theyre the best but have hard time believing that their products are complete junk as most on here claim...

    I bash people who own Emo amps and will soon own two XPA-1 amps. Most Emo owners are dip **** and in dire need of perspective. Emo is not reference quality gear, but it does sound good in many applications . . . especially my home theater.

    PS Adcom sucks balls and anything less than HALO from Parasound can kiss my ****.

    I don't knock them for not being able to afford better gear. You'd be missing the point if you thought that. I knock people who think no other gear is better. And I especially berate the individuals who start arguments after reading constructive and informative criticism of Emo gear.

    I know. I wasn't sure if I had tossed in my own stupid senseless comments. I'd hate to miss an opportunity to contribute.

    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.

    dude,im not seriously upset,i dont own any emo,would love to get an xpa-2.....
    that being said it seems others on here act like emo/adcom/etc
    are total"****" without justification,kinda like a bandwagon....i cant afford most "highend" amps nor would i give every dollar i got to own them so an average joe like me looks at companies such as emo,outlaw,adcom to get a good serious rig w/out spending a ton of money. just tired of the relentless flaming of emo,unless that company ripped you off....i dont see why any one person could go on and on dissing them....just my opinion
