Emotiva makes many of the upper end companies boards, they are a solid company with great prices thanks to direct to consumer marketing, I would highly reccomend them as an entry multichannel amp!
With only shipping cost at risk, trying one of their units seems okay. Parts Express has carried some of their units, but not now. Could mean high returns lead them to drop the line, or it could have been lack of margin.
Get it. My buddy had the LPA-1, sold it and upgraded to an HDMI receiver (Yamaha) and is now kicking himself for selling the Emotiva amp. The Emotiva has a nice kick to it that most receivers won't have. For the money it's a no brainer.
I don't know them from a hole in the wall but a very close friend of mine asked me about their product because he loves my system, but that is another can of worms ;-)
