At the Audioholics 2007 State of the CE Union Event, Emotiva introduced the DRS-1 Subwoofer/Amplifier System, consisting of two subwoofers and an amplifier with auto room correction. Known for their rock solid amps and pre/pros, Emotiva is now jumping into the market with aggressively priced speakers, including this subwoofer system.

Can't wait until Clint, Gene or Tom get the hands-on review out! Only $1k for 2 subs, a separate amp and Room EQ. "Reference" keeps getting within the realm of what most consider affordable.

It sounds like a great value. I can't wait to see a review.

A break-in period is an excuse made up by some audio manufacturers to get your ears used to the bad sound.
What's the latest on these subs? Anyone have any info? Will the pricing still the same? What's the latest on ETA?
I saw the screen shots on the Emotiva lounge posted awhile back. Looks pretty cool.
All good questions. However, SVS just released their Audyssey room correction module for subwoofers. Hopefully, Emotiva isn't far behind with their offerings.
i agree. 1k for 19-20hz f3 sealed subs WITH room correction. if they can pull that off, they'd be outselling a lot of sub makers.
Mike I agree that is great, but what is the output level used to achieve the linearity? Sounds like it will not be the case in terms of anechoic response.
None the less, it should still be a good value.
