I have a Marantz Avr and I love it. When it dies (Hopefully years from now) I will replace it with an other one for about a $1000. That's what I spent last time. I keep my equipment from cradle to grave.

Ive been a crown fan for years, so I was hesitant to go away from them. but I took a chance with Emotiva XPA-1L. I've had them for almost 2 months now and I love them. However if went back to doing live sound I would go back to Crown. (Bullet tough).

Mercedes Berater,
Do you already have 2 sets of RF7ii. have you used them for fronts and surrounds. how does it sound? I don't have the space. But i will bet surround sound music is to die for. What amps do you have. The RF7ii are power hungry.

Way to go.... I've had mine for about a year now. I went from KLF20's to RF7ii. Every day when I turn them on I still can't believe there mine. It was the best choice I've made in a long time. Enjoy and post Pictures.

They came about Noon, OKC time, and so did the snow. I had a hard time getting home after work. got it hooked up and it sounds great. much better than the marantz crown Biamp thing I was doing. have not had time to really set up through auddisy (spelling). will get to that some time this week.

Off topic slightly but...
When I called Emotiva - it was very refreshing to have a customer support rep that has a sense of humor. I swear, every time I seem to call a support line - they're all business. Let alone there's usually 10,000 prompts and you can't understand them. Makes me feel better about them. I can say the same of Klipsch support too. You can really tell these people are into their work and love their own products.
I agree I called tech support to ask questions last week. and when I ordered this week and they were very friendly. answered all my questions, and more. Its nice to see in a company. If you have ever dealt with B+h Photo you know what I mean. there not rude they just could care less if you called or not. They have every product in the world at a great price and they know it. If dont buy from b+h they dont care.

I'm right there with you Alan. They finished repairs on my Fusion today and am expecting it next week.
They are both probably both in the same stack

Tom Petty said It best "waiting is the hardest part." Income Tax is back and I most always use it for one of my 2 hobbies, home audio or phtography. Last year I bought the RF7ii and moved the klf 20s to the extra bedroom. So this year I will continue with the home theater. I have been bi-amping with the my marantz SR 6005 (high end) and with a Crown XLS 1000 (low End). (I dont mean to start a bi-amp war) It worked for me till I could buy a proper kickbutt amp for the RF7iis. So after seeing what amp company's you guy's own and checking out the AVS forum and the Audio Karma forum. and just keeping my eye out. I narrowed it down to Emotiva and their monoblocks (Always wanted one). Unfourtunitly I just could not afford the XPR-1 or the XPA-1. The XPA-1L Gen2 Looks like a great fit and within budget too. 35 watts A class, and 250 watts A/B class. I think I will keep It in A/B most of the time. Mostly I just watch TV or movies. But I will have A class when I want to play audiophile.
So I went to order them monday (16) called Emotiva and they were closed due to bad weather. Ok they said they would be open tuesday (17). The office was there and as long as I diddn't have a tech question I was in great shape. I placed my order. and if UPS was running My amps would be on their way. well.... no UPS. Today a tracking # but UPS has not pickedup yet today so... Waiting Is The Hardest Part.
Patiently Waiting,

I too went to magnolia center and auditioned there "hi end theater". Mac pre + amps and b+w ct7.3 and my friend said before i could get it out " yours sounds that good" I said thanx. the salesman asked what do you have, Marantz Crown and Klipsch RF711. the salesman said "those are pretty good speakers". We were listening to Led Zep Celebration Day blu-rey

Sorry for the slowness of getting back to this thread. I've been MIA. Anyway thanx for pointing me in the right direction. I found TAS It stands for The Absolute Sound (lightly knocks my self in the head). looks like all sorts of reviews forums and blogs. (Just found an 8,000 phono preamp). They say it even sounds good. Thanx again Alain

Thanx for the heads up on this Beatles article. Being a huge fan, I try to digest as much Beatle info as I can find. I have the Mono CD box set and it sounds Great. I thinking about getting the LP mono box set too. but well you know..... do you have a link to that article. I have never heard of TAS Honors.
thanx, Al

I have no cats or dogs, no children. I do have 2 birds, and they don't care. But they look so cool with them off.

Yes you have to wait till they are not the popular rent. First they go down to 12.99 then to 9.99. 6 weeks or a month

it is definetly one I will purchase next month along with Captain America Winter Solider. I will get them for $9.95 at Family Video.
Don't tell everybody about Family Video. I though that was secret.
That's where I get most of my Blu-rays.
