Rodney,
What has you talking to Emotiva? Are you looking to buy one also, already an owner? When I called yesterday I was told the amps on still on the boat coming from China and probably wouldn't be shipped until 2/11 give or take.

Hey Steve!!

I have the LPA-1 and the MMC-1, love the sound!!

I called them to ask about a set up on my MMC-1, and check on the new MMC-2, I'm going to upgrade as soon as they release the new MMC-2

I dont think you can find a better amp for $500, it will run @ 4ohm(225 watts) and you have extra two channels for the 2nd zone!

Steve you need to check this out...............

I sent that guy a PM but no response so far. It's only about 3 weeks before they are supposed to start shipping again. I'm to the point now that I can wait.

OK, I've been watching a few amps on e-bay and checking Audiogon but no luck. So, I placed the order with Emotive a few minutes ago. I hope they don't delay shipping any longer than they already have.

Thanks to everyone for their help. I'll let you know how I like the amp.

I am waiting patiently for Emotiva to release the XPA-5 5 channel amp for $699.00.

That should be a great amp... If it measures as clean as the rest of their amps... LOW THD, it will surely be a winner at that price point...

Congrats on the Polk LSi's that was a snatch of a deal...

What interconnects do you guys use? I can't believe the prices of some the wiring that I've seen. Some of them were as much as my entire system. How about these?

The mega expensive stuff is unnecessary for most systems. You may hear the difference with high end gear.

I would look at Acoustic Research Performance Series or comparably price interconnects. Or if you want to slurge Acoustic Research Master Series or comparably priced stuff.

Thanks again Jay. I found the Master Series a little cheaper on buy.com and went with those.
Remember the link you gave me for the LsiC? Have you ever done business with those guys? I ordered the speaker and didn't hear from them so I sent an email. They responded and said the speaker would ship on 1/24. On the night of the 24th I checked my credit card and there was no charge posted. I sent another email and was told that the speaker was on "Nation Backorder". What ever that means. The speaker is scheduled to ship on 2/18. I mail back and say you told me it would ship on 1/24 and now you're telling me 2/18, I want to cancel. I get a response asking me not to cancel because they had to order it.
In the mean time I find a better deal on e-bay. So my last mail to them said I will stay with them if they do ship it on 2/18 and ship at no charge. This appears to be two brothers, they have the same last name, who have a no inventory store. That is an assumption on my part since I only ordered the one item. Everyone else that offers this speaker appears to have it in stock. One person on e-bay is offering ten. Buying speakers has turned into a real ordeal, maybe I should have stayed with the ones I already have and saved the money. Anyway, if they do ship when they say they will the center speaker and my new amp should arrive at about the same time.
