Max2 Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 You cant get this for 800 bucks like the Emo, but for under $1600 its going to be very quiet, have twice the capacitance, huge dual Toroidal PS's, A truly balanced design and a 30 day trial as well. This thing will stomp a hole in most of the 5 channel boutique amps out there and sound awesome doing it. I would take one of these over any Parasound or several other of the popular brands out there. Oh, and its not made in China or assembled in China or anything like that. Built in the USA and even the Power supplies are built stateside as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twelveblocks Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 Parasound amps pair well with Epics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max2 Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 (edited) Outlaw. Bingo. Its practically identical to the ATI, but does bench identical. Its built at ATI with ATI's house built Power supplies as well. And I will will be darned if they are not having a black friday sale right now. Where is there more amp for the money that doesn't cut corners ?

Shakeydeal Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 Problem is NOBODY needs 200 watts per with klipsch speakers!!! Exactly! Quality over quantity with any speaker, but certainly with high efficiency designs. Shakey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arkytype Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 Can't the gain of an Emotiva amp be turned down with a little hot rodding? In short, the answer is yes. I purchased an all-Emo setup about a year ago and have been very pleased with it. The UPA-500 was purchased with the idea of eventually running my Klipschorns 2-way with an active crossover which does not have a global volume control. The 5th channel would power my passive 3-way center channel Belle. I had RCI Custom Products engrave and punch the panel. The knobs are from Kilo International. Behind the rack panel is an attached chassis with RCA connectors on the rear panel. Since I do a lot of acoustical testing, I added two auxiliary inputs on the front panel.

Headroom is never a bad thing. Transient spikes will eat up amp power in a heartbeat. Distance from the speakers needs to be factored in as well. I'd rather have too much than not enough.

One is a verb, the other a noun. Ok, I am done here, lol..... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quality over quantity with any speaker, but certainly with high efficiency designs. Shakey I would agree with this statement, as 200 is usually way overkill when most of us don't even use 1 watt for 90% of our listening. However, these amps are so quiet and clean you are basically just picking up free headroom without the fallout of a higher noise and THD associated with higher powered amps. It is a win, win with these amps IMO, especially for all Klipsch towers. Check out the THD. Great numbers down very low in the 1-3 watt range (.005% ish), 5 watts it drops roughly .002% and drops even further in the .001% range once it hits 25 watts. How about 100 watts at .0015% anyone?

Doesn't matter to me in the least. I listen to music, not test tones. If you can tell the difference between 0.5% and 0.0015% distortion, you are a bat and probably can't afford a high end stereo system..... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
