"Comparing a Lux to a Emotiva ?" Yes, I compared the specs as I said and there is very little difference. Don't forget that my very first sentence was "I'm not saying the Emotiva BasX A-300 sounds as good as the M900U". The whole point of my post is that when someone spends $12,000 to $20,000 on an amp, they should be getting something that sounds many, many multiples better than a $399 amp but I don't think they are. Better? Sure, but likely not enough better to justify the cost. I'm a value conscious buyer and if people want to spend that kind of money on an amp, by all means go for it. But don't think I'm going to be impressed because you spent that kind of money and didn't get many, many multiples better sound. I'm more impressed by the sound people can get from value buys. I also said: "Let the ridicule begin." because I knew the pretentious crowd couldn't resist.
