Well like I said I threw it away so I really don't remember the exact model. Who f'n cares anyway? I'm not trying to sell you anything man so why be mad? It's just my OPINION dude. You can be dissatisfied if you want to with my answer but I still won't even consider any Emotiva products for MY home system.

Pretty harsh criticism of Yamaha, why do you not like it? Their modern stuff leaves something to be desired but the vintage stuff is incredible in my opinion.

Bought an Emotiva amp as a temporary replacement while I had my Yamaha amp restored by Skip at Legendary amps. I noticed a definite difference in sound quality from the Emotiva compared to my M80. Although there was no way these amps were comparable in wattage or build quality the price was cheap. While I was using it it crapped out and one of the channels quit so i threw it in the trash and bought an Adcom 60 watt per channel amp to replace it. Never had a single problem from the Adcom and the sound was really good compared to the Emotiva. I still have the Adcom and actually bought a preamp-tuner for it to use in an office room or den. I believe the Emotiva was an A200. I bought the Adcom for 60 bucks and the Emotiva for 50. The Adcom is a gfa 535.

Emotiva is crap. If I had to pick I would go with Yamaha most certainly.

Sounds like you are looking for an integrated amp not an amp.

If you want a great high end amp for khorns get a McIntosh MC275 tube amp.If you want to go cheaper and still have great sound check out Prima Luna tube amps.

] I own a pair of cf3's and i love them.They produce a lot of bass and they are fantastic rock speakers.And they are efficient.The cf3's with the five inch ports are the ones i have.I have seen some bad press on the 2nd and 3rd series ones with the shorter ports.

American woman?Really?They were a canadian band and the song was a dis to america.I don't need your war machines Idon't need your ghetto scenes etc.Bad choice.

Does anyone have any psb speakers? If so what do you think of them?I can get a pair really cheap.They look like they would go well with my cf3 klipsch speakers.

Dig it.

Favorite song to show off my system. That would have to be"harvester of sorrow"by metallica.

Just put a pair if heresy's in the back seat .

The epics were a very good speaker series that came out in the early 90"s.I have a pair of cf-3's.Should have come up with the extra bucks for the 4's.These speakers have been seving me well for over 15 years with no issues.They are capable of insane volume levels with no distortion at all.The bigger the better in my opinion.I would forget the cf1's and look for a bigger pair.Though even with the 3's i use a velodyne sub.The 1's would be great paired with a sub.I picked up a servo controlled 12 inch 1000 watt powered velodyne for $400.00.Epics are perfect rock-heavy metal speakers.Although they are also great with classical or jazz.Just make sure you have an adequate amp.I run a yamaha m-80.You dont need that kind of drive for cf-1.Whatever your choice is i wish you luck,happy listening!

I have a pair of epic series cf-3 speakers.and a pair of polk sda crs on stands.Was fine in the house but now that im divorced and in an apt they are too big but who cares,they sound awesome.Listening to alice in chains,wouldnt change a thing.

There are a coupl of extremely nice "belle klipsch" speakers on ebay right now.Also one very nice pair of heresy 3 speakers.Either set will work well with your sub and they are both in the same leage pricewise.Around 1100 bucks.Check em out.

Heritage speakers are fantastic,The new klipsch speakers are also fantastic.Look for a pair of epic series cf3 or cf4.Check ebay and craigslist often.

The hell with silkiness and lustre.Get yourself some monsterwire,I have been using the same wire for 25 years.No issues and my system sounds fantastic.
