It sucks when one person has a problem with somthing that a hundred people before didn't and it turns people off. I have said this before and will say it again. my mmc1 and xpa5 are wonderful at running my m80,vp150, and qs8's. I have never had a problem with anything from emotiva. The louder I turn it up the better the m80's sound and the xpa5 seems to never run out of juice. As soon as the xmc1,cd player and dual subs are on the market they will probably end up in my living room. \:\)
I have been thinking about the ep350 and ep500 for a few years now but the thought of duals at 999.00 that come with a cool seperate amp and auto room correction. seems like a dream. maybe it is... only time will tell, I just have to wait for a audioholics.com review. To sum it up i think axiom and emotiva are both great companys that bring great products to consumers at amazing prices. They also stand behind their stuff and have great customer service.... Thanks
