sssshhh! Sssshhh! I'm waiting to buy one of those 11.2 or 13.2 channel receivers on discontinued pricing so that I can use the digital processor capability to fully bi-amp a 5.1 active speaker system.

Geeks are the target market Gotta love the marketing photo - so the geek with the girlfriend sporting a painfully forced smile gets to entertain the "in crowd" couple through purchase of this product. Contrived & obvious? You decide.

It was just my opinion... (everybody's got one you know). My 5.1 system (of 12+ years) includes Elliott's DIY Cabasse MTM speakers (components alone cost me $700+ per LCR unit). They are driven by a B-stock Nakamichi 100W Class A type Integrated amp (1A-1Z costing me $750+). The...

Seriously under funded LCR speakers Step away from the emotiva amps. Regardless of the price to performance ratio; in a $2500 system, you may be better advised to spend 60+% of your budget on speakers and go with a $400-$500 receiver. Didn't you guys review Denon receivers in that price...

Carver and tubes? Mr. Carver's career seems to have taken full circle. Wikipedia indicates that he was once known for designing inexpensive amps that matched the perfrormance of much more expensive models. Just gotta wonder whether this is a cheeky exercise on his part.

a 2 year old had her way with our plasma As an early adopter, I paid $5K for our plasma in 2004. Within the first year, our 2 year old daughter took a crayon to the front glass and scraping off some of the anti-glare coating in a childish scribble pattern. She performed a similar...

Why isn't this wireless? At $500, it needs to include wireless distribution of your HDMI connection from the hub to the monitor. Maybe in the next generation...

Are the EMP E5Ti's designed by John Krutke? These look to be using the ZA14WO8 5" drivers designed by John Kutke of Zaph Audio. - If so, that and his selection of drivers / crossover design could clearly explain the competative value of these speakers.

eventually, ultimately, but not yet I do not use acoustic treatments yet but have designs for a family room expansion that will have in wall 5.1 speakers integrated with a broad array of fabric wrapped wall panels such that some wall panels will be sound abssorbing and others will have in wall...
