"Any good" covers a lot of ground. If you don't mind how and where it's manufactured for the sake of unexplainable low cost, then you'll be in a large fan club.

You'll be able to wallow in countless positive owner reviews that wax on about fabulous performance for the cost as in this thread. The microscopic few negative reviews will be by audio hobbyist who took the time to actually compare their products.

My personal experience with their big stereo amplifier began with finding glaring sonic shortcomings during comparative listening. Within weeks a channel failure lead to a look under the hood which revealed laughable build and component quality and a rapid return of the amplifier.

Wandering around the back pages of the companies Lounge forum a potential home theater customer questioned their products extremely low pricing and asked about the companies labor and manufacturing practices. A quick response by a company representative refused to answer followed by a few pages of juvenile berating by fanbois ending with an administrated lock of the thread. I don't think I've ever read a Troll hit a nerve as sharp as this hapless HT customer did with a simple question.

Any good? I will say their limited return policy worked flawlessly but that's it.
Call it what you will. We've covered this ground before in the "Emotiva Challenge" thread. Like Archie from the Lounge forum my concerns regarding their manufacture remain.

By the way, when I first read that locked thread the moniker, "Seeker Of Truth," was not present under the original posters name. I have to assume that only a moderator would be able to make such an edit. This company just can't help itself from bringin' it on.
