    Did the thought ever occur to anyone that I'm just having fun? There is NO WAY people will agree on a theme such as this one. So better have some fun while at it.

    Going out to audition some MBLs now.

    It is funny, and kinda silly. In the gun world we call it "being married" to your equipment.

    Oh give me a flippin break. EVERYTHING gets talked to death on here. There are probably a 1000 threads on how to power the LSI's correctly, I don't see you going off and foaming at the mouth about those threads, or the tube, vinyl, SDA, ect. threads that always equals the same thing.

    If you can manage to control yourself with all those other umpteen threads you can do so with the umpteen Emotiva threads. Or just excercise some self control and stay out of them!

    Better yet, find a RECENT Emotiva thread were someone said that it was the end all to be all. If you can't do that, then LET IT GO! You're just crapping in these threads to start trouble.

    yep you really know me to say that I'm a huge trouble starter :rolleyes:

    Big deal I posted that something was over done on the forum. Please then also jump on Brock as well seeing he also posted something simlar to my thoughts on it as well.

    If I really wanted to start trouble I would of posted something like this.

    You really know Emos are piles of crap that start on fire and will burn peoples houses down. These have to be the worst amps I have ever heard in my life and who ever buys it is a moron.

    See the difference?

    Once again I didn't say its bad to own it, I just said the view point of the OP has been hit home serveral times before? Did I ever say anywhere in my posts that someone should buy more expensive crap. NO. Did I ever say that Emo is the biggest pile of crap ever. NO.

    So please, leave me alone. If you really don't like my post then do what you always recommend people to do and IGNORE IT.

    Guys, try and keep the thread kind off on topic, else what's the use of posting anymore about it! Why just add rubbish? Me included.
    I did start the thread with good intentions, I know it went south fast, no need to speed the process eh! Thanks

    Here's what I think

    If Emo is crap and sounds bad and everyones stupid for buying them ? Does that mean that every single person out there that has an avr is a stupid punk **** **** with super crappy sound ?

    Emo is ok for what you pay new and its not really that bad . You can try or buy and not loose any sleep because they sell like hotcakes on the used market
