    FS: Emotiva UMC-200, $360 Shipped CONUS

    in Garage Sale

    Posted

    Hi guys,

     

    The XMC-1 is in and stable, so it's time to let the UMC go.  I bought this guy new directly from Emo, and his warranty runs until Feb 3, 2019.  Emotiva warranties are fully transferrable, and I'll transfer the warranty to the new owner.

     

    It's been a solid performer and quite reliable.  In the time I had it there was one repair required -- Emo had a run of bad power supply caps for a while, and they repaired it under warranty with no issues since.  At different times I used it with HK and Emotiva amps in front of La Scalas or Chorus IIs and it always sounded great.  One nice feature is the balanced subwoofer out, so if you have a pro amp on your sub, or your sub's plate amp uses a balanced connection, that's available to you with this piece.  It also has an ordinary RCA connector for the sub channel.

     

    It will ship in the original factory double boxing, and it has all the original accessories.

    For the 302s, I'll sell em for 600 FIRM, but I will include premium 15 foot pair of 12 AWG livewire speakon to speakon cables along with the vinyl covers.   Otherwise, I'll keep them and have a lot of fun with em.   CA LOVES love music (oh no wait that's just me).   

     

    It's not just you. 😄

    [SOLD]: Chorus IIs, Academy, Quartets (Central California)

    Yeah a Quartet is at least a Heresy and a half, so figure three Heresys worth of space, but less flexible loading options than three Heresys.

     

    A rental could make sense if conditions are right.  Like wvu80 mentioned some employers' travel plans have contract rental rates in place; my company will let us use the travel portal to get company rates, but mark the trip as personal and pay with our own credit card, and if you're a USAA member, they have a deal with Budget that's better than my company travel rate.  Some credit cards have a similar benefit, and I'm sure other insurance companies do as well.

     

    Don't give up yet!  😁

    [SOLD]: Chorus IIs, Academy, Quartets (Central California)

    Hi guys,

     

    The big speakers don't fit anymore, and I've downsized to wall-mounted reference bookshelves, so you can get yourself a full "Extended Heritage" 5.0 in one shot.  I have a pair of Chorus IIs, an Academy, and a pair of Quartets, all in black.  Owing to size, these will be local pickup only, and if there's interest in pictures (say you'd need to drive a few hours to get here) I'll take some and put them up.  They live in Visalia, CA, roughly halfway between Fresno and Bakersfield, with me and the rest of my stuff.

     

    -- Chorus IIs --

     

    These are in good to very good mechanical condition, and cosmetically fair.  Grills are clean and badges are intact, but the cabinets suffered damage when they were shipped to me from Minnesota many years ago.  If you're skilled with filler and veneer, or have a good relationship with someone who is, they are quite repairable.  Cabs are structurally sound, and all drivers are original.  No dented dust caps.  $550 for the pair.

     

    -- Academy --

     

    Cosmetically good, with a clean grill and badge, and normal scratches, wear, and patina on the finish.  All original components.  $300.

     

    -- Quartets --

     

    Clean grills and badges, good finish with normal wear and patina, no dented dust caps.  $450 for the pair.

     

    Pricing is fairly firm, and if you want to take the set all at once, it's $1200.  This would be great for someone who has a dedicated space or a large enough room to give them the space to breathe that they need; pair them with a competent sub or four, and you'll be out of reasons to go to commercial cinemas. 😂

     

    Thanks for looking and hit me up with any questions!

    Also have a pair of black Heresys, serials 150X598 and 156Y150.  They have grills that need new velcro, no badges, and the cabinets have seen their share of bumps and scrapes in the 25 years I've had them plus the ten years the original owner had them before.  I refreshed the caps sometime during the second Bush's second term.  $300 picked up for these guys, not going to ship them.

    Rare Emotiva Amps XPR Editions

    I haven't tried the UPA Yet, or the Bass X amps, but I am actually impressed with my MC-700 Processor. I had a higher end Denon I was using and I can tell you its far superior movies and Music. It did however sound pretty bad before I set it up. But man what a difference after setting it up. I just went semi-cheap waiting for the RMC-1, as no point in buy the XMC now if I am going to get the even bigger one, haha. If u haven't tried the MC-700 you should, and I came from my Denons and $2,800 Integra and I would choose the MC over either every time.

     

     

    I own a UMC-200 now and other than a warranty repair for a couple of bad capacitors in the power supply, it has been rock solid.  Since I purchased it new I became a member of the "25% off upgrade for life" club so I'm strongly incentivized to stay in the Emotiva line for future processors, and the XMC-1 is likely my next upgrade.  Still kind of debating on the best path forward with that since I don't need 4K or Atmos and won't for a while.  This means that on the one hand I don't need the upgraded boards or the features of the upcoming Gen3, so I clearly can not choose the wine in front of me, but on the other hand buying a used Gen2 right before the Gen3 upgrade is likely to cause resale issues down the line, so I clearly can not choose the wine in front of you.

     

    First world problems.  Meanwhile the UMC-200/UPA-7 combo is a nice little performer than came in for less than $1,200 all together and it just keeps on keeping on.

    Heck, keep 'em and just let them loaf, unless there's some financial or other incentive to downsizing as well.  Headroom is a good thing!

    KP-362's FOR SALE 2 to 12 Available Any Interest?

    Update on the Klipsch KP-362's.....  I drive over to see them, take some good pics, come back to upload them, and find out the MAX amount of data I can post is 2 MB..... Ouch.... EACH of the 13 pics I have is between 2 MB and 3 MB in size.  And that's with the lowest res my new phone will do.  So I have pics if anyone's interested, but I'm still trying to figure out a way to put at least a couple of them on here.  I may try to download a JPG editor and crop a couple of the pics to post them.  Condition of these is that a few are in great condition, a few just need some good cleaning, and a couple have some nicks on the cabinet edges that would put them in fair condition.  I'm going to be looking for maybe $700 to $1000 a pair, delivered, or "Free Shipping" whichever way you want to look at it.  Another piece of relevant info here is that these are all black,...birch cabinets, speakers, metal perforated grill, everything is black.  And they have attached top and bottom a heavy duty metal bracket that outlines the trapezoidal shape of the speaker.  I kind of hate to stick an email address out here on a forum, but guess I'll take my chances..... markdsearch2002 at  yahoo if you want me to email the pics.

     

    Upload the pics to imgur -- each one will have an address and when you view the pics, imgur will even offer you the bbcode with a "copy" button so you can paste the links here.  Images will appear inline in your message and they'll be pulled from imgur, bypassing forum storage limits.
