Emotiva not so good

Fill in the blank.

It's as simple as going from emotiva to Parasound 2250 v2....night and day, upwards backwards and side to side. Parasoind is that mush better. imagine going to a Halo...

Interesting.... I have had their XMC-1 pro since it was released and just love the sound for home theater, which is what I use it for exclusively. It did sound even better once plugging it into a good power conditioner. At the time people compared it to the sound of much higher end processors.
I only have a 3 channel amp And subs attached, but am looking for an inexpensive 5 or 7 channel amp And am thinking of the new outlaw that is about $900.

I guess I’m a Home theater cheapskate in the sense that my 2 channel setup is at the other end of the spectrum. I do have What I think I a very good center (even though it was reasonably priced) the Elac Adante Ac61 on it’s dedicated stand.

millercarbon's "_________________amps are good until you hear another brand in the same space. Fill in the blank" is right on point. There is always something else.

The amps are descent for what you get for the price you pay.
  Own a pair of the older xpa-1 monobloc amps.

 Are they the most musical , nope, will they hand out goosebumps, nope.

will they play balls to the wall loud, and have low distortion, yup.
 They are great at what they are.
there is always something better, someone tougher, stronger, a faster car.

 Their customer service has declines a lot over the years, ol Dan laufman should be concerned about the fixing of stuff, before releasing more.
