What's the latest word on the Emotiva UMC-1?

Jim, I can't get this message to you (keeps coming back even though I'm hitting return with correct address), so I'm posting here and ignoring all of the nonsense above.

Check the UMC-1 forum on the Emo site and contact owners about any bugs still existing. I think you'll be pleased to see what the truth is. Everything else is old news, but take a look for yourself. You're in NJ, which is not too far. No need to take anyone's "word." You can see/hear for yourself.

And no, I have yet to hear ANY processor that is audiophile quality and I've heard units costing in the 6K range. Again, listen for yourself and decide. I own a tube based system along with Merlin speakers for music listening as I never expected a theater system to get it done right. You'd need to move BIG speakers for that to work and I have a dedicated room. You can try me at Thomas35s5@aol.com as well. If you post a query on the MJ Sub elsewhere I can respond and I'm sure others will respond, but a quick answer is this: The MJ and REL subs are about equal, but I find them best for music. A big SVS Ultra sub is great for theater, better even than the Fathom 13", but the Fathom 13" does music better. If you can only go with ONE sub get the Fathom. If you want the best of both worlds get the SVS Ultra and add the MJ or REL for music.

Happy Festivus!

Can't live with yourself if you don't get in the last word (and version of reality) can you....

Robs findings are like mine. I even agree on the sub comments. SVS is a killer home theater sub. Als good with near full range speakers....Not so good with monitors IMO

I have the older SVS Ultra 12/2 which is still there best sub IMO. I was told by Ron at SVS the 13 Ultras were better then the single 12 ultra's, but not the dual 12's. I was waiting for the dual 13 version Ron told me about...but SVS changed direction and are going smaller.....still producing great bass.

The SVE 12/2 Ultra is insane! Great Bargain if you can find one. Take off the bottom stand, flip drivers forward. Buy some JL audio W7 12" Mesh grill covers. An amzing dual sub!
