Emotiva RSP-2 Preamp users.


Are there any of you out there who currently use this? What are your thoughts on it? How does it sound?

How come the major magazines never seem to review these?

I too would love to hear from Emotiva users, both the pre and the power amps...

What you get for the price seems incredible... Anyone using these?
I recently purchased an RSP-2 and XPA-2, driving a pair of Magnepan 1.6QRs. I have not done any A-B comparisons with other amplifiers, so my opinion may be of somewhat limited utility. However, I am more than somewhat pleased with it. The 250 wpc XPA-2 drives the maggies beautifully, really bringing out the base in a very controlled way. To my ear at least, these do not do anything wrong. The phone stage on the RSP-2 seems to work particularly well with my Rega p3/24 and Dynavector 10x5 cart.

Also, Emotiva's customer sevrice is great and their return policy allows you to buy without much risk.

Yeah, I've kind of drunk the blue cool-aid.
Goatwuss, i jumped into hi-fi with a couple (biamped) LPA-1's which was their first round offering @ 125W x 7 and the LMC-1 pre/pro. The amps were pretty good sounding, the value for the dollar is high for what you get. I still run the pre/pro from them and it works fine for home theater. Heard good things about the 2 channel pre and amp that the OP is asking about.

they are every bit the little company that could. customer service is excellent. anyone interested in Emotiva should check out their forum @ emotivalounge dot com
