Here's a thought for you. You could go downtown and pick up a pretty nice AV receiver for $1300. At least you would know what your getting. I don't know too many people who have heard an Emotiva receiver. There's at least one individual here who isn't enamored with their products.



These days, for $1300 you can get a nice Denon/Onkyo/Yammi AVR that has similar features and power and multiple HDMI connections built in, v1.3 even. I've got the Emo separates and am very pleased with SQ and features, save HDMI connections, But I don't need any more right now, so no problems. At 200+WPC I've got all I need, but then my room is 1/3 the volume of 's room.
EMO and others have 30 day return policies - if you don't like it, send it back. I think Axiom extends their 30 day policy to the Sherwood line and the R-871 is similar to the Emo you're looking at.
