    Nope...he started this one...2 years ago.

    He misses it like the illegitimate son he never had.

    Ricardo...if you talk to them...tell them I haven't changed my mind...just been too busy to call them to let them know.

    I think this thread should be closed, or I might bring it back in 2013. If there's still a world then.

    Steve, I have not called them either. I am afraid they might remember the story and send me another shipping invoice.

    I think you should call them before 5 years warranty expire soon.

    I heard the shipping for multiple replacement is Free as long as it's within 5 years warranty.

    I can't imagine beer floats being too tasty, but I'd like to recommend Tequila & Milk.

    Mixes best with a less expensive brand of tequila (Jose Cuervo Gold) and whole milk.

    Tasty and nutritious !
    Don't let the mix sit too long before imbibing, however. The milk will sometimes .... conglobulate. And conglobulation is not a good thing.

    Ya know what's surprisingly good? Milk and cranberry juice.

    I know, I know...sounds disgusting right? That's what I thought too, until I tried it just a few nights ago. It tastes astonishingly like strawberry milk.

    Every now and then, I make a pretty nice floater and forget to flush. Emo threads are just like that.

    Still stirring the pot, eh Ricardo :D.

    Well, I've heard Odyssey gear first and and it's right up there.......this poster is obviously blind. If Emo is THAT good then the rest of the audio companies might as well pack it in and call it a day.

    Bigred, that post is a little over the top and reeks of someone who really hasn't been in the game very long. Hitch your wagon to that horse and your bound to end up **** over apple cart ;).

    Feel better now that you got to add your BS to the thread?

    "Appreciation of audio is a completely subjective human experience. Measurements can provide a measure of insight, but are no substitute for human judgment. Why are we looking to reduce a subjective experience to objective criteria anyway? The subtleties of music and audio reproduction are for those who appreciate it.

    Whew....personally I have been wondering if you read the whole thing or not. Thanks for letting us all know. Cause I am sure I am not the only one that was worried if you had read this entire thread or not. :rolleyes:

    He said, "Son, have we got a deal for you,
    We're gonna make you a star, give you fifty thousand too."
    I told him, "My Momma didn't raise no fool.
    I'll take your money
    I'll make you movies
    But I can tell ya right now
    I am born to boogie."

    TMZ has anounced that Charlie Sheen is on board to play PFB in "Emotiva Story... Part Deux"...

    He was quoted in the press anouncement that this was the "most tiger-blooded role he has ever been offered" and that he would be "WINNING" the Academy Award for it.:biggrin:


    The script was initially turned down by Jerry Seinfeld, as he felt the excitement about Emotiva is "much ado about nothing".

    OK, being a long time lurker here, I thought I should at least be part of the greatest Emotiva story ever told. I also felt that I shouldn't contribute until I put in my dues. So I don't know if I'm happy or sad to report that I have just spent 2 days of my life reading each and every post in this multi-year epic story of comedy, betrayal, drama, trolls, crying babies, large breasted Asian's and PIE!

    I actually bought an XPA-5 a few months back knowing what I was getting, a relatively cheap way to add 5 channels of power. I've been happy as it's a step up from my humble Yamaha. I got it for the home theater with the intentions of upgrading my RTiA-1's to some 7's knowing I'd need more than the Yamaha to power them. I've never been much for buying used and in the end, this was a cheap way to add a little kick to my movie experience.

    So, what have a learned from two days of reading? ...

    Almost everyone likes pie. Pie is good. And for the love of god, never google Boston Creampie!

    If i purchase a UPA-2 Two Channel Audio Power Amplifier
    can i skip to the last post to read. I'm over 50 and i might not have time to read it all.
    Having said that, it seem's that Emo's might not be the best ,but to an ordinary guy and his hobby Emo will be just fine. An OK product at a good price . Agree? Free's up some money to the next Upgraditis(insatiable desire to upgrade). Back to watch Falling Skies.
