M900U vs the world

M900U retails for $14,995. Always important to get your facts straight. With a normal 20% Dealer discount that brings it to 12K...almost Half what you wrongly quote above.

I got sucked into Emotiva 10 years ago.  It is mid-fi pretending to be high end.  Specs can be manipulated to look good on paper. A Porsche and Yugo are both cars and both will take you to the grocery store, but they aren’t the same or even close. Comparing a $300.00 amp to a $12,000.00 amp is a joke. Emotiva is very cheap audio built to a cheap price point.  There will be no high end parts inside and a tru listener should be able to hear the differences, unless you are deaf. 

Ferrari makes great cars, however not everyone can afford to drive a Ferrari so they must get their pleasure from driving a Toyota. Nowadays with today's advanced technologies leveling the playing field driving a Toyota is not an unpleasant experience.

I just read at least two websites that said the M900U costs $19,900 (I rounded it up to $20,000) but I did find another that said $17,999. If you can find it cheaper, all the more power to you because I'm all about saving the money for other things. But the entire point of my post is that the Emotiva sounds darn good, can drive 4 ohm, low sensitivity speakers with plenty of power, and there's no way the M900U sounds 50 (or 30 if you get the M900U for $12,000) times better. Can we at least agree on that?

Your reading VERY old information before Luxman opted to distribute their line themselves. Many years ago the list price was $19,995 when "On a Higher Note" was the USA Distributor. 

Glad you like your Emotiva. I wouldnt take it if I saw it sitting out at the Curb Brand New in the Box but thats just me. Ever hear of the law of diminishing returns in the Audio World??  Ignorance is Bliss!!
