Hi Bass Mania! Thanks for the reply and yes I have looked into Emotiva. Can't remember why I let that go...I may have read about a problem with the amps. How long have you owned yours and what are your impressions? Would you say that the amp is bright/neutral/warm? Have you had any problems?
Hi roakes,

Emotiva has been the perfect company for me, tech support is second to none. I did have a problem, but with my prepro. Resolution was QUICK!

I find the amp neutral, but unless its Bob Carver or some tube amp, I expect my electronics to be neutral. The end result is the speakers. Your Klipsch are bright if they are typical of most klipsch speakers. My mains are Aperion Audio 633 Towers, and they sounded bright at first, but they don't strain my ears, even after long loud action movies, or after a night of good jams.

I've heard that Emotiva makes amps for other companies that mark them up for name sakes (and profit).

I'm now a lifetime "fanboy" of Emotiva, because they have gone past the extra mile helping me, and I own their budget gear! Plus 40% off on future prepro orders since I'm "In the Family".

I've also owned amps by yamaha, nad, and denon. NAD makes some of the most powerful audio amps on earth. They rate conservative, but can grunt out serious power into 2 ohm loads.

Good Luck!
