emotiva

Looking for some advice from the experts here. I ordered a new pair of very nice powered monitors. Among other things they eliminate the need for an amp, so the preamp will be basically the entire guts of the system. I have an Adcom GTP-500 which I love but it recently lost a channel, so I got...

Welp wife got the audio system in the divorce. Was a funny conversation actually: me: "So I guess I'll take the audio system, you don't need it." her: "I was hoping to keep it. I'm too spoiled now for regular audio." me: "lmfao, uh, yeah, ok. I don't have any place for it right now anyway and I...

Wondering if anyone else has run into this and knows why/how sound could be coming from the speakers with the amplifier and preamplifier off. Gear is: Emotiva BasX PT-100 preamp Hafler 9505 amp Klipsch RP-600M speakers

Hello all, long time reader first time poster. I'm new to the audio world outside of just tinkering on my own. I have been blessed with nice people giving me nice things and I have purchased a few used items myself along the way. Feel free to skip to 4th paragraph if you don't need background...

I never believed all SS amps sounded the same, after all I compared the amp section in my receiver vs that of a separ!ate amp and the difference was night and day. Over the years I've acquired a few "mid-fi" amps and those all sounded the same with both my PSB IMage t6s and my Paradigm studio 20...

I'll try to keep this brief and to the point: I have a 5.1 system in the basement for movies. I'm using an Onkyo TX-SR805 as a preamp (fried the amplifier many years ago while watching Transformers...) and an Emotiva UPA-5 as a 5-channel amplifier. My mains are Def Tech 7002s, which are very...

Dear all, Thought I'd "show off" the system I've put together since my last post, about 18 months ago. The system has grown and improved quite a bit since then: It's made out of: Denon AVR-X4000 Denon PMA-2020AE integrated (always powering fronts, it has a "power direct" feature) Denon...

I have an Onkyo TX-SR353 https://www.onkyousa.com/Products/model.php?m=TX-SR353&class=Receiver I am hoping to connect to an emotiva amp - The A-300 - If I had the coin the XPA-2 3rd Gen would be my choice https://emotiva.com/collections/amps/products/a-300 As an entry-level guy I need a bit...

I am a thrift store and craigslist shopper so my system evolves slowly as I find better items in my budget. Currently my main stereo consists of the below. Pioneer VSX-99 reciever Pioneer SG-90 eq (don't use this often but it looks cool) Pioneer DV-46AV cd / sacd / dvd-a Teac W890R dual...

Have been thinking about trying a new slightly higher end amp - looking for AK opinions/thoughts re these two lower-price Emotiva products. I have never owned any Emotiva gear. My main standalone amps in some of my secondary systems include Yamaha M-35s and various D amps, mostly 3116 and 3118...

Made a new thread since the system changed so much. My "source" is a PC/PS4 Pro/LG OLED run though an Emotiva PT-100 acting as DAC and preamp / volume control -- USB for the PC, TOSLINK for everything else -- to a first gen Adcom GFA-555 (true Nelson Pass design! ;)). The reQuests are wired to...

hi. Looking to add a 2 channel amp to a secondary system I have in my bonus room. Currently running an Onkyo A-9050 and it drives Revel F12’s. I also run a modded Technics SL1200 MK2 with phono preamp Looking for a nice discrete 2 channel maybe class A/B. Budget around $700. Would like to...

Dear AKers, I have a pretty good system (IMHO), with a pretty bad power amp. I have always been told that metal domes need careful system matching, and therefore I am here to seek opinions. I will leave my surround setup be, at the moment, and just speak of my stereo system: CD/BD/SACD...

Hey chaps, This is not my first system post, but I have done some tweaks, so I will pause the audio hype for a while :) In short, what I have is: Emotiva XSP-1 Gen2 Emotiva BasX A300 Marantz SR5011 Marantz UD7007 Marantz NA6005 Wharfedale Jade 7 and Jade 3 and Jade C1 QED reference cables...

Hi all, I'm hoping you can help me make a decision. I currently have a B&K Reference 7250 and am in need of a Pre-amp/Processor. I also have a turntable that I do use frequently. I was considering buying an Emotive MC-700 along with a phono stage like the Musical Fidelity LX-LPS. Now the...

Hi guys, Although I had already posted a thread about my Jade 3s, I feel like a new thread is needed for this REVELATION I just got: My Wharfedale Jade 7s have just shipped! Alongside my Wharfedale Jade C1! :) The Jade 3s have instantly become surround speakers. I had NO idea what I was...

Hi AKers, Here she be: The pieces are: Surround: Marantz SR5011 / Emotiva BasX A-300 (FL/FR power) , Marantz UD7007 (also as BD / DVD-A decoder) Focal Cobalt 815 fronts / Focal Cobalt CC20 center / Focal Opal 607 surrounds Pair of Infinity Infinitesimal 10" Servo Subs Stereo: Marantz...

Hi everyone, I was planning on replacing my current Infinity Reference 60s (EMIT-R tweeters) with new Elac Uni-Fi Slims, but let's just say that my budget shrunk, and I had to buy a separate power amp (Emotiva BasX 300). I am, however, within range of a pair of (mint condition!) Canton Ergo...

Realistic APM-200 by MetalDaze posted Jul 27, 2017 at 7:53 AMAfter failing to find a McIntosh MPM 4000 (Or Amp for that matter) that was for sale- let alone in my price range. I thought my quest for VU meters connected to my amplifier would come without resolution. Then I found the Realistic...

Good Morning all, Just toying with an idea and I figured I would throw this at the wall and see if it sticks. Currently driving Ohm model H on the front channel (8/6 ohm @ 20-100W) and Stacked Ohm C2's in parallel on the rear channels (Each 8/6 @ 20-120W) I believe. All are upgraded from Ohm...

I live in an apartment and being mindful of other's peace I rarely have issues; save one individual. There's always one. So to that end I've dubbed my system the neighbor hater: Integra DRX-3 Emotiva XPA-4 Gen 3 Panamax MR5100 AudioTechnica AT-LP120 Cambridge CP1 Phono Preamp Ohm Acoustics...

Just received these little boxes and plugged them in to my audio card. First impressions are very good. As anticipated accurate sound, good imaging, and surprisingly good base with no sub. Looking forward to seeing how these play with my music collection

I've put together what I think is a decent system for the money and space. Bluesound Node 2 Parasound Halo 2 Pre-Amp Emotiva XPA-2 Gen 3 Magnepan MMC2's with a DWM on each REL Strata 3 Sub Signal Cable Silver reference speaker cable On the right tracks, it's magic. Live stuff is wonderful...

Just ordered the new Emotiva A-100 Basx flex amp to replace my Pioneer Elite A20. Any thoughts on this little guy round here? The reviews I read were highly positive (although, they were for the older model Minix). It appears the only major change is that a headphone jack has been added...
