which amp Adcom or Emotiva

[PierreBCN]

How is Emotiva not a real audio brand?

Adcom: US intellectual property, mass produced in Asia, sold by direct marketing
Emotiva: US intellectual property, mass produced in Asia, sold by direct marketing

No disregard to Emotiva! Just meant Adcom has been doing it for a while longer. It's been in business when HIFI was still an important industry back in the 80's and probably earlier.

I think you are correct that Adcom may have been in business longer than Emotiva, but Emotiva is a direct marketing arm of Jade Designs. Jade Designs has been designing and manufacturing gear for other companies for over 30 years, so their roots go back at least to the early 80's.

To me, its a moot point - both companies produce outstanding products at bargain prices. I've owned both and wouldn't hesitate to buy either in the future.
