What happened to the Emotiva UMC?

It's all good Dann! :cool:

It's worth waiting for things to be perfect than to have problems that would amount to a recall. Now that would be a PR nightmare that should be avoided.

(Now hurry up and send my UMC-1 and XMC-1)
We believe the wait is worth it, but the pitchfork and torch-bearing masses are getting restless...

Understood...

But then again, we make predictions on release dates based on what we know at the moment. The changes that happened with this product were quite unexpected.

We have been a little quiet about the UMC-1 lately, just for this very reason...and in return, we get people frantically wondering if the unit is still coming, are we hiding info, are we giving up? etc. It's a no-win situation in some ways...say nothing, and you are damned...say anything and you are damned.

We make statements based on what we know and believe at the time, based on previous experience and deep industry knowledge. If that deviates, well...what can we do? We're trying our best to keep our customers or potential customers alert to what's going on. If someone buys another product because of situations beyond our control, so be it.

We firmly belive that purchasers of the UMC-1 will have their expectations exceeded in many levels. Quality of product, value for money, outright sexiness :cool:...

We are still waiting on Cirrus, and we still believe they are the best solution for what our customers want. Period. Next question.

If we are faulted for that...well, then...ok. We've been faulted for being honest and open. We don't have to be honest and open, but it feels right...it's what we want, and what we think AV fiends deserve.

Ok. I feel better now. Break's over. Back to standing on your heads. Who's got some whiskey?

May not be back on this forum, BTW...just here visiting.

best,
d.g.
For the record, my frustration is based on the general direction of things, not just Emotiva. Yes, Dan, I'm really disappointed that I could not purchase the UMC. Starting back in Jan or Feb or so, I was all set and willing to wait a couple of months, but then the delays started. I considered waiting but just had the feeling that it wasn't gonna happen, and I was right.

I'm not asking you stand on your head, lie, withhold, or anything like that. I guess from my personal consumer standpoint, I'd like to see you withold predictions of specific release dates until it's actually realistic to do so.

I have no doubt that what your release will be a stellar piece of equipment and I'm in sure in some way when I eventually read everyone gushing about their UMC, I'll be a bit sad I couldn't wait. Somtimes timing just doesn't work out.
