EMOTIVA --SALE ON JULY 4th

[subhash]

Recieved One of the XPA-1
it came on thursday (pretty fast),was expecting it only by nxt week

Packing is great
The amp has a Rock solid build
Being a mono Amp and weighing 40 kgs it did require a lot of effort to carry it!!!
even after i recieve the other XPA-1, i will not be able to connect immediately, seeing the enormous size and power requirements i need to make some changes in the room

Thanks to santosh for all his help

sure , the packaging by emotiva is something fabulous ,the double box ,the tough foams all around and not to miss out on the handles provided within the box itself to withstand the 40kg weight when lifted is too damn neat !

The other thing which i need to mention here is the User manual which is fantastic (the quality of the paper and the simple terms used needs to be noted and theres a lot of useful information too) hope some of the other Big companies learn a thing or two

The shipping from Borderlinx by DHL is indeed fast, infact when i tracked it on thursday it had reached bangalore at 8AM and by 4PM it was already delivered

Hey, is it only for the orders before june?

Started thinking seriously about this UMC-1. May be it will be in my rack in near future.

the web site states free new remote for purchases made upto june 30 (coz the build quality of the initial remote was not too good) and for orders after this date the unit will come with the new mettalic remote

@subhash
Did u setup the system??? any review of the same??

 

[anilva]

I bought a XPA-5 during the sale. Same experience like others in terms of quality and packing. Fantastic!

I am big fan of Emotiva now. Great value for money for a high end product.

Borderlinx/DHL combo works super fast. I got it in 3 days flat.

Cheers.

have set it up ,placement is right now on the floor

its done about 10-15 hours till now , to be frank i have no experience on SQ with such big amps with so much of power. according to user reviews the XPA-1 needs atleast 100 hrs of break in period

will review after some hours of listening

Subhash,

My plan is to go for a UMC-1 little later. Right now I am using my Onkyo 706 as a preamp. Till now I was using the same configuration but with a NAD M25 7-channel amp (bought for atleast 5 times the price of Emotiva). Emotiva XPA-5 is as good if not better than the M25 at 1/5th price. Isn't it value for money.

I am planning to sell the Onkyo 706 and upgrade to UMC-1 shortly.

I will PM you my details.

Cheers.
