Ok, quit it you guys! You are going to cause me a world of hurt when my wife see's the Visa bill for a new amp (that according to her) I didn't need!

I can sure relate, I'm still trying to justify my new system in Ebony with an ep600 and 80v2's. I know I know, bring on the pics....

Shawn, I didn't go with the Piano Gloss Black, to expensive. I went with the custom vinyl shop in Ebony.

For $200 more bucks you could've got an MPS-1 with 2 mono's to start. I've heard great things about the LPA-1.....

Oh yeah, I know. I had emailed Emotiva asking about an MPS with just 2 modules. I was close to ordering it. I decided that the LPA should be sufficient for my needs. So far, it's fantastic. Quote:

Man I have to get one of these amps already! Peter, with the 4ohm M80's, does your amp put out a lot of heat? Or is it running cool? Just wondering that's all.

The amp has been on and running my whole system for about 7 hours straight now, with volume levels ranging from quiet background to 'listen to THIS!' levels. Right now we're watching TV at moderate level, DPLII - so all speakers powered. Ambient room temp is 68, using my wife's oven thermometer lying on top of the amp, it's reading 82. Seriously, for $500 (with shipping!) this thing really does seem to be a steal. Again my first experience with a discrete amplifier, so I don't have anything to compare. But I'm QUITE happy with it.

Oh boy, it's amp envy time. Seriously, I'm a little confused by this news. I was always under the impression that an efficient speaker, like the M22, wouldn't gain anything from further amplification vs a respectable AVR alone. After reading this, am I to conclude that this impression is completely wrong?
