I like Emotiva, but here is the newest issue I was talking about (it applies to their new CDP, but if the accusations are true, then perhaps they cut corners elsewhere):
http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?t=1148961&highlight=emotivaIt's a lengthy thread, but simply reading the first couple pages will fill you in on what I'm talking about. And by the way, Chu Gai is a very respected forum member and truly knows his stuff. Some people don't like him because he's a no BS, tell it like it is guy. I like him, however. He's very helpful and knowledgeable. Anyway, happy reading, and I don't mean to start any flame wars or arguments. Like AV123, I feel it's necessary to point out when a company could be having issues. I mean no disrespect by this, but the consumers should be aware of things like this.
And for what it's worth, I am currently temporarily running an Emotiva amp with my ST's and have had zero issues. It sounds great! YMMV, of course
