Emotiva amplifiers review/experience?

Josh. Could there be such a thing as over kill? I live in apt and only rarely let thevolume go...That it might not work as well as the lower range of its power spectrum- even if the Maggies 1.7 has some minor low resolution problems ,compared to its predecessors. (or do i have it reversed) Thanks.....

The people at the Rmaf for Emotiva were very nice as are their amps. They do sound fuller than many other amps
I heard there

Utley -- Yes, there could definitely be overkill. I doubt you'll use all the power the monoblocks have. So after that, you're talking about subtleties of sound that depend on the amp model. And I don't know whether you'd hear them (or I'd hear them), or whether they'd matter to you. Also -- if you don't need the power, it might make more sense to consider a more expensive amp with the power of the XPA-2. But having heard about a zillion amps over the years, I'd say that a more expensive amp isn't going to buy you all that much.

Thanks Josh.....The reviews seem to indicate that XPA 1 can control the bass and keep it lean....
the upper register are always a gamble . They should have less distortion than my 30 year old plus Yamaha M2 or my Tandberg 3012.....I am sure they are showing their ware in from the NYC power grid and air. Would have liked to keep my purchase in North America but Bryston and Pass want big bucks......Feel like a traitor

Emotiva might be worth a try. You do get a lot for the buck. Take your time, think it through, gather information. Read current owner/user reviews. Take reviews from "golden ear" types in "audiophile" magazines for what they are. My belief is these folks tend to pander to the "higher end." The XPA 2 for example is now on holiday sale for $699. Can't beat that. Very tempting. No, I don't have a fiduciary relationship with Emotiva. Just sayin'. They come with a five year warranty. Read the warranty carefully. Most electronic devices if they are going to fail prematurely will do so within the first year of operation. My concern is quality of build coming out of China. You don't know the rep or history of the manufacturer. Quality of workmanship in Chinese factories varies WIDELY. Depending upon the parts used in manufacturing, power amps can be quite inexpensively (you'd be surprised how cheaply) or more costly. Labor and margin are bigger add-ons. There seems to be a lot of good feedback for ya from responders here. I have a Hafler 9180 purchased in 1995 and I am sitckin' with it! Good luck!
