Emotiva Repair


Does anyone know who can work on an Emotiva XPR-1 mono block?  Now that it is out of warranty, Emotiva will not work on it.

PS, if you need an Emotiva amp repaired by someone other than Emotiva, you’re just going to have to google electronics repair in your closest cities.

 Then google the establishments for customer satisfaction and whether the BBB gives them a good rating.  These places can have a long turn around time.

The Emotiva amps aren’t exactly rocket science to figure out, although I expect that service documents will be non existent.  They don’t use boutique brands for parts, so shouldn’t be hard for a repair facility to source.


The XPR amp line was a misstep by Emotiva (besides Carver, Sherbourne and the UMC-1 disaster).

The XPR line was too heavy, needed 20 amp outlets and was obviously done without much in the way of market research. They’d dream up an idea, then get their Chinese partner/factory to build so many at a certain unit price so they could ship them to Franklin and still make their margin.

But most of the time they’d end up deeply discounting them in an attempt to get ‘em out the door. The discounts ate their profits and conditioned their customers to wait for the next sale, a vicious circle.

i think they finally hired someone with a retail background, judging by their smarter moves these days.
