Alain C Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 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,Alain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fuzzydog Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Emotiva makes solid gear and has great customer service. I once asked them a question via their support email and got a response from Cathy Laufman. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

K5SS Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 I contacted Emotiva today. It looks like it's my turn to play the waiting game.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The History Kid Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alain C Posted February 24, 2015 Author Share Posted February 24, 2015 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.

wvu80 Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 I'm not picking on your spelling, but I know what you mean! When I got my Onk receiver I also had to learn the weird spelling of "Audyssey" so I could communicate with others about my room correction settings!
