Emotiva Tube Amplifiers Coming In February

.
I was at the Emotiva traveling roadshow last Saturday in Los Angeles. During a presentation to the visitors, Emotiva's owner mentioned that the tube designs that they purchased from Bob Carver will become a part of Emotiva's amplifier lineup next year. He said the tube amp they're building will be 300 wpc. He said that it will not be a retro-looking amp with exposed tubes. He said that the tubes will be in a covered chassis for a more modern look.

That's going to be a fairly hot piece of equipment and I guess they will need to use an active (read fan) cooling system to circulate the air around the tubes.
Also I don't know if they can offer the same kind of economic pricing that they have for their SS units.

I can not say I did not see this coming, Emotiva making tube amps and equipment, does not suprise me, I expected this to happen after the acuisition of Bob Carver tube equipment company, now, The question here is, did Emotiva buy Bob Carver speaker company?, I do not believe so, it seems Bob retains this company now, He just released a statement speaker.

The owner said that more WAF friendly speakers are forthcoming next year also. He did not say whether or not if they are based on Bob Carver designs.
