Emotiva not so good


Emotiva amps are good until you hear another brand in the same space.

The only Emotiva gear that I have are their DACs. I currently have 3 Emotiva XDA-2 DACs in 3 different systems. I have been using them for over 5 years. They have a rich, detailed, engaging presentation in my systems. Over the years, I have tried several DACs costing up to 5x the price but haven't found any that I like better.
well, I have a Pass xa30.5 and while of course it sounds better than my xpa100 mono’s Guess what is running most of the time? My Emotiva’s. I run my main system daily at least 8 hrs . I’d say the Pass is run maybe 6 or 7 hrs a month on average. I could live without it.
I use the Emo XPA-3, XPA-5 for surround and ceiling speakers, XPA1L for center speaker, and Mac MC452 for front speakers. The Emo speakers are clean to handle surround speakers with no issue.
its the money the cost mid fi.  Good for films ,theater 
stuff.  But nothing inportant
