aussiemark Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 Does anyone have any experience or info on Emotiva amps? After reading a review in Audioholics about the RPA-1 I am considering a partnership with it a my RF 7's. I cant find a bad word about them. Thanks.

shepjk01 Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 I currently own the emotiva mps1 7 channel amp and the sound quality and power is great for the money. The folks at emotiva are also excellent to work with. I had it mated with my rf7's when I had them and it made for a great combination. The construction of the amps is also unheard of at there price points top quality components throughout. If you have any more questions feel free to ask.

aussiemark Posted October 8, 2007 Author Share Posted October 8, 2007 Thanks skepjk01 for your reply. I was on the verge of obtaiining a Rotel rb 1080 for my 7's but I suffered a major financial setback. She's gone, I'm back and I want to grab an amp that will get the best out of the 7's rather than a Denon 4802 which is OK but doesn't do it for me. I have a Velodyne HGS 18 and Ilike it at concert levels. The topend is a bit much at present. I'm 49 and the older I get the louder ,cleaner and tighter this old Aussie loves it.

Deang Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 No, I don't think so. I'd like to pull the trigger on an XPA-3. The spec I like is this one: "Weight: Approximately 70 pounds" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colterphoto1 Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 Of course Dean would have to rewire it using only a Ding-Dong wrapper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IndyKlipschFan Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 Of course Dean would have to rewire it using only a Ding-Dong wrapper. And some duct tape to boot!! The thing is.. It just might sound better too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deang Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 Of course Dean would have to rewire it using only a Ding-Dong wrapper. Ha Ha. I'd have to make sfogg do it, my eyes aren't good enough for that kind of work. Really, cheap parts in amps is O.K., I just don't want them in my crossovers. I wouldn't choose amps like the Emotivas for critical 2-channel listening -- but I bet they rock for HT and DVD/Blu-ray concerts. They give you a lot of amp for the money.

Deang Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 BTW, seriously thinking about taking a drive over after I get off work Friday -- how's things looking? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speedball Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 http://emotivalounge.proboards54.com/index.cgi?board=amps&action=display&thread=2597&page=1 I ran across this and wondered. Ah, link doesn't seem to work. A Ding Dong wrapper........[] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DTLongo Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 You might want to take a look at Outlaw Audio (www.outlawaudio.com). I just got their model 7075 amp. Built like a brick, heavy, solid, it sounds gorgeous and appears to be a better deal pricewise than Emotiva. . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
