It's comical reading the criticisms of Emotiva based on "cheap quality".
I'm willing to bet these people have never opened the hood on these $50k amplifiers and noted parts that are no better (or marginally better to the tune of maybe an extra $1k in parts.)
What's also comical is reading reviews with measurements and seeing these $50k amps performing no better than Emotiva.
What's REALLY comical is seeing an over-priced piece reviewed with bad measurements and almost 100% of the time the manufacturer comments say the sample was "defective"...lol
At least you're not overpaying with Emotiva and getting a product that almost always measures well on a test bench.
Personally, I use upgraded McCormack and McIntosh amps because I know the high-end parts included and the designs last forever.
However, I have a couple Emotiva's for a separate HT and they are perfectly fine for application in dedicated 2 channel high-end too.
One sign of pseudo audiophiles is the ones who think the price of the equipment determines the quality. I've gone to the "shows" for many years and met countless manufacturers/reps/etc. If you only knew how they set the prices for some of these pieces, then the LAST company you would be mad at would be Emotiva.
