  Not much talk about em' in the Amp/preamp archives section in the Asylum.

  They seem like a pretty decent company which touts using high end parts, electronics. Why not try their 30 day in-home trial? Seems like a good deal to me especially with the 5 year warranty. Sorry I can't offer any first hand experience though.

    would be nice to see a shot with the analog meters though. My first time viewing this line; not sure how long they've been around. Asthetics wise they look cool. Price wise I'd grab one for the hell of it.

    The smaller version BPA-1 is bridgeable although the RPA-1 appears not to be. But then again for $699 one could afford two.

    Btw, anyone know what the hell 'Tiffany' RCA jacks look like?

      I called the number to get more info and spoke with the person who does sales of these units. He was very helpful and I did not get the feeling like he was trying to push a sale...in fact he gave several ideas on how I could utilize my existing equipment and avoid a purchase.

      When he answered the phone he did not say Emotiva, he said XXXX (can't remember the name) Design. I asked about that and he said they are actually a company that designs and manufactures amps/pres/receivers for some of the bigger name companies (would not say which ones) and decided to start the Emotiva line 'for fun' to put some of their own ideas into products. They don't market or sell retail because they do not want to compete with their 'bread and butter' customers and piss them off...so they keep it pretty low key.

          This product line from the company used to be sold by AV123,the makers of the "rocket"and "Onix" line of speakers.
          There are lots of threads with good reviews over at the AVS forum.

          Whether it was a falling out or just a split due to financial reasons,I have no idea.Their amps seem to be very solid.
