Have you ever heard a really good sub in a system? If you were running anything close to full-range speakers then I would say do what your heart tells you to do. But buddy you're missing out of the biggest impact movies and music have imbedded in their audio codecs... THUNDEROUS BASS!!!! I hear you, you are fantasizing about those three blue lights of the Emotiva and the circular blue power button below them glowing in your equipment rack while you're rocking out to your favorite jams... hey I have those blue lightes in my room, and yeah they're cool, but not nearly as cool as hearing everything the sound engineers in the recording studio's have packed into those discs you listen too/watch!
Like it's been said, it's your money my man, we all have different priorities in life. But if you buy the sub first I think your smile will be twice as wide as it will be if you get the amp first.
