    Emotiva Silver Plates

    With a little push from NOMO, I took off the silver plates on the XPA-5 and the UMC-1. They both look really clean this way, with our set up. Not everyone would want to do this. I didn't order the black plates, because they look nice and smooth the way they are, with just the silver screws put...

    Set Up Complete...yea.

    The system is finally finished, with the addition of the Emotiva Ultra 12 Sub. Some pics a familiar. The old ones were so fuzzy.;)

    BL Motor

    What does BL motor mean? Does it have to do with the Subs Amp or Voice Coil? What is 'BL'? 'Bass Linear'?

    Emotiva Ultra Sub 12

    I was going to order the Ultra 12 Sub tomorrow. I'm getting it after changing my mind on a Polk 505. I've been reading lately about the differences between subs, and keep coming across 'BL' Motor, what does 'BL' stand for, I'm dying to know. It's never explained by manufactures. Thank you.:o

    System Set Up

    I was told I made a mistake, putting this in the wrong part of the site. I found the right category. So, I'm correcting that now. I apologize for my mix up...On the top shelf, I finally was brave enough to cut the center support post, so I could pull the center channel out past the end of the...

    Set Up

    I finally got the gumption to take photos of the system. Of course they're somewhat blurry, but you'll get the picture(terrible PUN I know). This room probably isn't the best set up for sound, I'm sure. But, you have to play the cards your dealt. You can't tell, but two walls on the left of the...

    Emotiva UMC-1

    I've had the UMC-1 for 9 months now, along with the XPA-5 Amp. There have been NO problems at all, for those worried about the UMC-1s quality. But, I'm learning a lot about the MANUAL EMO-Q. After doing the Auto Mic adjustment, I did some tweaking with the Manual Emo-Q. Since there are 11 BANDS...

    Def Tech Mythos 2 speaker setting

    Def Tech says to set the Mythos 2s to 100hz. How does that work with the Sub set to 80? Should I set the Sub at somewhere different than 80hz to compensate? Or can I set the Mythos 2s to 80 also? :confused:

    PIXAL break up

    I just noticed recently, that I see more pixaliz-ation break up on the TV lately. Not with DVDs, only on cable. Could the HDMI cable be getting weak from the cable box? Or is this just a weak signal now and then from the cable company?

    Two Subs 'POLK' and 'EMOTIVA'

    Right now I'm running just a Polk Micro1000 Sub. I think the 1000 watt rating may be overrated, but it's a GREAT sub. Also, 5 Def Tech Mythos 2s. Power comes from the XPA-5 Amp. Should I add another sub? Would it be an advantage? Right now, Emotiva is having a sale on their 12 inch model. If it...

    Is Oppo the way to go?

    I'm sorry to ask this. But, trying to compare the advantages of the Oppo BDP-83 to other comparable DVD players is daunting. I guess I just need a player that would work best with the Emotiva UMC-1. Since the UMC-1 has a lot of Dolby formats, will other players be in be in the same performance...

    Umc-1

    I was suppose to receive a Emotiva UMC-1 last week, but was pushed back again. Two more weeks. I guess the wait is worth it? If you received yours recently, let me know how the upgrades worked out. Just curious if all the BUGS are gone.

    Nachamichi DR-2 Tape Deck

    I have a Nachamichi DR-2 that doesn't get used enough. It starts out like it won't play, then it catches itself and starts working. It's probably a belt issue. I don't know. But I'm willing to let it go at a price that's agreeable and fair. It's faceplate is in great condition. The top has a...

    Power Conditioners

    I was looking at Power Conditioners, a Panamax 4300. Since Emotiva says I have to use a separate wall outlet, can I use a conditioner to plug the XPA-5 into? Will this help to keep the voltage up on the amp? Or am I looking at Power Conditioners in the wrong way? Thanks for any input.

    Tape Start

    Hi y'all, I was going to sell my NAKAMICHI DR-2 Tape Deck on Ebay. I put a tape in it this morning, and it wouldn't move the tape. Then it started very slowly, and then ran great. Do you think I need to clean the ROLLERS and SPOOLS behind the front panel? Or is the drive belt giving out or the...

    XPA-5 is ON!

    I have the Emotiva XPA-5 running finally after it sat around the house for 2 weeks. At first nothing but the Sub was working from the pre outs on my Yamaha Reciever. Nothing from the speakers. I didn't want to box this GODZILLA up and ship it back! So this morning after looking again at the back...

    Cables for Emotiva XPA-5

    I was pondering whether to sound stupid for asking this question or, not asking at all. Sooo..I can't help but to ask this. My XPA-5 arrived today, and I'm waiting on the UMC-1 Processor. Now the question. Is regular RCA Cable fine for connecting from the UMC-1 Pre-Outs to the AMP. Or should I...

    Emotiva

    I know I saw it many times on the top of the AUDIOHOLICs web page, but until I read a post in a thread, I never gave it a thought to look into EMOTIVA.(I just thought I would buy another YAMAHA Reciever when the time came). I don't remember who to thank for my going into their website. But...

    Polk Micro 1000 Remote

    The remote for the Polk Micro 1000 has Phase buttons. What does each touch of the phase button going from 0 to 90 to 180 and so forth accomplish? I can't really tell to get an affect, so right now I have it set to 0. Is the Bass boomier if set higher? I just want to know what the phasing button...
