ATI AT602

A new amp usually means speaker wires get moved all over heaven and earth from the old setup, at least that's how it is at my house.  Now I need new wire runs, I've got to find the last couple of banana plugs I have laying around, I know they're here someplace.   You now have some work to do!  :rolleyes:

 

What are the plans for the new ATI amp?

This is my second AT602, because I have an audio itch that needs quenching on a regular basis. :)

I may use both ATIs in our HT and see how that goes. Not sure what to use for the center channel.

Discontinued model. I like the meters too.

I liked lighted meters when I was younger but in my old age I'm more of a minimalist.  I'm too easily distracted by pretty flashing lights. 

 

The early Emo's sometimes had their flaws but a lot of people liked them for their strong performance and built-like-a-tank construction.

not asking you to reveal cost; but, was it reasonable -- i mean, a no-brainer compared to buying new ones?  Just curious, as i sit in a chair that is worn out already.

Thousands of upholstery shops across the US would say it's a no brainer.

I bought this 4 piece set in 2006 for approximately $2300.00. A guy told me this same or similar setup today is $3600.00 and not made as well.

I had a local upholstery company do each chair for $175.00 each and that included adding reinforcement under the springs so they don't separate and eventually cause you to sit in a hole. That hole equals poor lumbar support, etc.

Now I have to mention this as well. This guy was great. It took him a day to do each chair. Like I said, $175.00 for each chair. Before I went to this guy, I got a price from another place in a nearby upscale area. They wanted $1500.00 per chair!

I told the guy to get bent and glad I looked elsewhere.

Older. Available for a short time about nine years ago. I've always wanted meters and this is my first amp that has them. That is an Emo really sweetened the deal for me.

The meters are actually quite subtle, even in a dark room. Not all that different from the status lights on an XPA.

 

Built like a tank might even be an understatement

Shoutout to @teaman for bringing the RPA-2 to my attention. I did not know it existed til about a week ago lol

We have a new verb as I got tea-manned as well!

 

Tim guided me in on an XPA-5 a couple of weeks ago.  I couldn't be happier with the new amp, the 200 wpc makes the CF-4's sing!
