JetJockey Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 Thought this may be of interest if you are looking for a new amp and don't want to break the bank. The unit may be ordered in 2-7 channel configuration and it is basically a monobloc design with a central power chassis although each module has its own powersupply. Chassis is $300 plus $200 for each channel added, pretty sweet hey? Free shipping on all orders till the end of Feb!!! Also of note is that Secrets of Home Theatre.com measured each channel at 210watts which is 5% above rated power. Emotiva MPS-1 7CH Modular Multi Channel Power Amplifier Emotiva caught us off guard last year with their new modular cage card 7CH power amplifier - the MPS-1. Its use of high quality parts (such as 105 degree C rated capacitors), and high build quality is a rarity at this price point. Though it didn't quite hit rated power, it proved to have excellent power reserves, channel separation, bandwidth uniformity and commendably low output impedance which are many of the prime metrics in defining great amplification. See our measurements and analysis and you will quickly understand why we are fans of this amp. Pair this amplifier with a quality receiver such as Yamaha RX-V2700, Pioneer Elite VSX-82TXS or a Denon AVR-3806 and you have a separates killer at a fraction of the price one would ordinarily have to spend to get this level of performance and features along with enough left over amplifiers and independent zone controls to run speakers throughout the home for a whole house audio solution. Its fit and finish are top notch, making pride of ownership off the chart for those who require high performance and looks to go hand in hand. Best of all, price was reduced making this bargain amp even more irresistible to discerning budget minded audiophiles. MSRP: $2000 $1699 with free shipping | Buy it Now Direct from Emotiva Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aviserated Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 I say keep it simple. My B&K 2 channel amp system matched with my Forte 2 speakers will KILL most surround systems as far as sound quality. If I bought any amp that was high doller, it would be a beautiful MACINTOSH with the pretty blue meters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest " " Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 I think audiosource did this a few years ago with simular pricing. I've seen the rack as cheap as 9 bucks and the modules as cheap as 119. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JetJockey Posted February 14, 2007 Author Share Posted February 14, 2007 Aviserated, thats a pretty broad statement, it never ceases to amaze me how some people think they have the best system in the world. If you like it thats fantastic, thats what its all about but to say it will kill most HT systems is complete nonsense. My dad can beat your dad up....grow up.

aviserated Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 I am sure your new set up will be KILLER also. But mine will kill "MOST SYSTEMS". There is a lot of junk out there. My dad is bigger than your dad...[] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jzoz01 Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 For someone looking for a "top notch" amp on a budget, I would point them at a used Sunfire Cinema Grand. The 200 x 5 version comes up quite often on Audiogon for about $1000 and is a great amp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldtimer Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 I have been interested in getting a sunfire amp architect's version and one reason is the part about running so cool. This emotiva says it runs cool so please give a review when you get it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
