They probably got popular initially because of the excellent performance to price ratio relative to others at the time.

ATI amps are of course excellent but there are other much more affordable amps that are better on specs compared to Emo's.

Your speaker mid drivers blowing had nothing to do with the amp. They blew because it is another classic example of an incompetently designed speaker. It is not hard to see the problem. The crossover from woofer to mids is 120 Hz. So those small mids are handling a lot of bass and the midrange where there is a lot of power.

So no matter what amp you buy you will blow the mids if you play it loud. 120 Hz is not midrange, it is well in the bass range, and right in the most major part of the power band of most music.

You need to be speaker shopping and not amp shopping if you want to play it loud.
