Oh my bad, I had forgot how Emotiva changed the way the world looks at Audiophile amps :rolleyes:. Ok their umm Budget line of amps just right above but not below really really Monoprice’s Monolith or Outlaw amps. But yeah Pyle and anything above or in between your good to go.
No such thing as an audiophile amp. Audiophiles are people, not gear.

I’m not on here to Entertain you personally! But carry on if you choose to. What really said is you So Actually time out of your day to troll someone. Why? you believe that I’m a easy mark?

@Gmoney please share what you find funny about that. It's sort of sad, really.
Which post is sad? I posted up a bunch of funny and sad post :). My post may have some dry or pushy Humor or not. I may have been thinking of something else when I posted up the “Audiophile” thing. You ain’t the only one on AH that takes Medication you know.;):) Oh by the way I told you in Secret not to ever say I wear them Speedo under paints when I go riding my cheap bottom feeder Walmart Murphy bicycle that my brother loaned me that left me on the side of the road. Walking the cheapo bike back. I got Hollered at by ever car that passed saying, Hey Disco pants.:)

The sad part I was referring to is calling gear "audiophile". May as well go by those who claim unless you spend enough on high end cables and have a resolving enough system you're not an audiophile so as to hear the imaginary shite they do. Do not wear speedos for bike riding, those are for swimming. I'd bet you would look pretty funny in lycra bike shorts, though, many do.....you don't want to be this guy :)

Hey! how you found that photo of me! I made a ton of money from that Advertising agency. I wanted to wear nothing at all just the paints shorts. Lol okay Sergeant Schultz! bAgain Only people who Buy gear from people who believe they are a “Audiophile” type of Company. I believe you missed or read to much into my post. Gene found out with his 2k plus amp that’s being used as a door stop. Guess even EE people can get fooled into thinking them amps We’re not built for (audiophile)=(people)in mind. But no Smart a$$ I got Your point the first time but now you went and even posted up what in your mind who someone shouldn’t look like. You do Loveinto, Stereotype people of other Cultures or who doesn’t
think Dampening factor matters like you do or anyone who drinks anything other than a Real Belgium German beer isn’t drinking beer! How lame is that in the first place to even think like that? Talk about some nasty beer! German beer some of the nastiest sh$t I ever drank. lol but carry on. I’ll wait for your rebuttal maybe. ;)

I think you should stop hijacking/polluting this thread with your rants. Off your meds again? Is english a second language for you?

Look! You! this isn’t my Original profile! I moved around a Lot! I lost passwords and changed up or closed old email accounts! So I can’t get back into my Original profile! I’ll Explain so you may understand. TechHDS old profile! umm another was as recently as 2018 and two others go way back to 2012 or maybe Earlier than that. The one where you Trolled me because I posted up, Dampening factor” You Trolled me saying “We don’t Discuss, Dampening factor here on AH”. than you had the Nerve to postup links to Dr. Tools Articles on audio! Since when have you been Appointed field Marshall on Genes forum? Last time I checked this is Genes forum he is the Owner of this website! Never once have I stated that I was a Audio engineer or have I ever stated on any post or Thread that what I post was rule of Law when it comes to Audio or Video. But I’ll be Dammed if you really believe that by taking something I posted up out of Context like you did with the “Audiophile” thing just to take a cheap shot at me again why even go there Chris? really man, you gotta stop bro. Your post are Informative, helpful your Knowledgeable and you do help a lot on GENES FORUM!! So let all this go, best thing You and can do is Block each other for the Sake of keeping the peace between you and I on Genes forum.

Bottom feeder = components I would never buy for my systems. :D
No true Audiophile who has a Reference set up like you or Gene has would think of buying gear that’s Audiophile Quality that really isn’t! Thanks for getting my use of “Audiophile” it was used in “pun” (Loveinthehd) Didn’t get that, like just about every use of ( Pun) Goes way over his head. Lol dude really believes I don’t know the Definition of (Audiophile) Because in my Sentence it was used as being Associated with audio gear. So he (Chris) took something anything out of (Context) to take cheap shots. Who in their right mind would believe any gear sold by EMO
is built with Audiophile People in mind!! They have and always have been a “Value” base Company! good gear, Fair price? all Depends. Lowend (bottom feeder) gear sure. But you get what you pay for.

You and I might never want any EMO.

Gene most likely won't ever touch another EMO since they won't service their own products after warranty.

Definitely no way in a million years I would pay $4K or $5K for any EMO.

But there are some EMO fans here. So we better be gentle. :D

Dude shouldn’t have taken what i post out of context. Sure I have owned Several of EMO amps I had only one issue with one of their amps a XPA-5 1st gen. It came in new Factory boxed had the center channel input that was broken but not Completely off bent. I replaced the input rail myself after the amp went out of warranty. That center channel input broke off Completely Causing it to go in protect mode. emailed their service department got no Response back. Shot a email again still no Response back waited a month called into Emotiva Talk with some woman she Transferred my call to the service department sat on the phone for 45 minutes never picked up. Hungup called back two more times got the same Results. If that’s not blowng off a good Customer I don’t know what it is. At that time I had two of their monoblock amps one XPA-2 amp one XPA-5 amp and their DAC pre-amp which I really like that little DAC pre- amp. Everything was still in the warranty no more than 2 years old on any of the gear. So yeah I feel Genes pain from getting the blowoff from a Audio Company. Go easy? Nope just like they Probably loss Gene as a customer they also lost Me as a Customer also.

I'm really happy with a few Niles power amps I own, the 2100 and 2150. The 2100 is currently on sale at Crutchfield for $350. 100wpc in 8ohms, (20-20k w 0.2%THD) and 220wpc into 4ohms. Run cool, sleek design, no complaints at all, definitely worth a look for the front mains.
