Hmm ugly cosmetics, power ratings only at 1kHz. Many Class D amps have issues powering 4 ohm speakers fullbandwidth. High distortion, Terrible SNR figures which are claimed at full rated power. Where do I sign up? :cool: This may be great for portable PA as they are claiming its purpose...

Very good points but Emo is planning a mono block version of this amp and I am strongly considering using it in the long term to run these new speakers. I wish EMO would come up with analog VU meters for these babies. I'm not a big fan of the blinking LEDs, but I am sure some folks dig em.

It's more about dynamic load delivery than sustained power. You can still get tons of headroom out of an amp like this on a conventional 15 amp circuit.

They surely can when driving a pair of speakers that are both revealing enough and power hungry enough to benefit from higher power. I have a 10CH Denon amp that delivers almost 500wpc in bridged mode that can NOT adequately drive my new reference speakers but the Classe CT-2300 rated at...

You are confusing bi-wiring with bi-amping. Biwiring uses the same amp but uses a pair of cable fed to the speakers top and bottom terminals with the jumpers removed. The amp itself actually sees a very similar load impedance minus some minor changes in cable impedance going from a single to a...

I am very familiar with the old B&W 600 series of speakers. IMO you can do better for the money. EMP E55s for example, or if you want a speaker that is more laid back but has a lot of bass, check out the Fluance XL7Fs. For $400/pair you could also look at the Infinity P363s but they won't...

I recommend 14/4. It's more flexible than 10AWG and has a redundant pair of wires in case one pair fails for some reason or you can parallel both pairs to yield 11AWG resistance. I ran 10AWG in my entire house and it was a mistake. Very hard to work with. Go 14/4 or 16/4 - 4 conductor cable...

Yes Tampa Airport is about a 40min drive from this location.

The Infinity P363 is a good floorstander for $400/pair but its not even close to the "point of diminishing returns" unless they are put in such a bad room, played with the worse electronics and worse source material that better speakers would not benefit the listening experience. If you've...

Not even close. The E-41B utilize the same cabinets as RBH Signature series product. The Beryllium 4" driver is very costly and EMP is likely offering this sale on what ever stock they have left of. Definitely a rare deal at this price given the caliber of parts.

Cool, you're wife and I share the same B-Day. She must be an awesome person :D If you want to bring you're own gear, you'd have to do all the handling. I will set aside a demo room for people to setup gear and demo it. You guys can all coordinate with each other here on it.

Those Emotiva's look great and they are active so you don't need more amps. Definitely a great option as well!

LOL Audio is one of the few luxuries I can really indulge in.

I don't know of any $500 speakers wired with Kimber TC cable and hand built with premium parts like this. Really I don't see an issue here with how these crossovers are built. These speakers are fully built and assembled locally and its a far costlier process doing it this way then to use...

These were the first production pair built. PCB boards are much less desirable than point to point connections like the ones here. You get more losses via PCB traces. You also cannot wave solder such large components to a PCB board. The Indcutor is literally the size of a transformer you...

I'd have to check with Shane on the AWG of the inductor. The mids are 6" not 4". It's the same driver as the Special Edition Signature Series but with the Beryllium cone instead of Aluminum.

They look even more impressive in person than can be seen in the images. No the PAss Labs is just for eval though I dream of one day owning an amp like it. I also have a Classe CT-2300 in for evaluation and I really like it a lot too!

Here are some more images. Note the inductor on the mids is more massive than most A/V receiver power supplies. The crossover in the bass box is the LPF for the subs. Shane told me with the special damping he used in my boxes, he was able to remove the resistors in the networks! Note...

Yes but you don't want to EVER leave the grilles on these babies :) Find a way to fit them. You can place them within 2" from a backwall, in fact, it's encouraged to keep them close to a backwall to reinforce the bass. They were designed with that in my mind.
