When I criticize NAD by the way, I'm not talking about their High-End "Master Class" series, just the cheap olive drab boxes they put out by the boatloads, although I believe they are now greyish colored.
I remember going into a Rotel dealers show room years ago and they had an NAD amp opened to show how poorly it was constructed compared to the Rotel. This same dealer now caries NAD as well as Rotel, so I guess when all the NAD hype and monetary opportunities came along, their standards before had mysteriously changed.
Thanks for the opinion. I'm looking to hear both positive and negative info on Emotiva to help me make a decision.
Thanks, it wouldn't be of any surprise if Emotiva turns out to be yet another let down for me. I also wonder about what hassles, if any, with returns if I didn't like them.
