Emotiva's performance, as reported by many, is compelling. Their proven on-again, off-again product availablity along with my perceived concern about potential quality issues are game changers. I'm big on being established and I don't want to buy into a start-up by comparison to Denon. If Emotiva had their top line processor consistently available, then replaced it with a new processor, I believe they had a DMC line, I would likely have been interested. I certainly was at this time last year, but no longer. When you go months without any product for sale on your website, you lose me. Sorry.
Really, I'm looking for someone to make a good-to-really good case for the 4810 over the 5308, or why the 5308 will come down in price due to new releases by Denon in the spring, or why I should wait and buy one of the Denon products in the spring.
I've had the Denon 4802 for 5-6 years and it's been awesome in my eyes/ears. I have no desire to take a perceived step down from the "4" series and I don't care to buy something based only on internet reviews in this instance. I say that because I would love to get an SVS PC Ultra-13 at some point.
I've only been part of this website for a month or so, but I've been reading here for over a year and have been looking to this day for at least that long.
