Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Home Theater Does anyone here have any experience with Emotiva?

You're right there, I keep trying to shorten up the process due to lack of free time, but it's quite a project setting up an HT; currently I'm unhappy with the position of the surrounds, close but no cigar, but I will probably want to wait until the sub arrives before I attempt to reposition.

Hmmm... Yes I suppose it would be a good idea to test my surrounds out before I go drilling a bunch of holes in the ceiling. That could save me a lot of patch time!

Hey Sat, has Emotiva been any help resolving your issues?

Randy I think you may have missed this posting in his HT thread

I have the MPS-2 - 7 channels, 200 watts per channel @ 8 ohms, 300 @ 4 ohms. Currently it's only driving two M80's and I haven't had any issues.

This amplifier can draw 15 amps of current (when all channels are in use, obviously) and should be on its own dedicated circuit. Are those who are having issues running their amps on a dedicated 15-20 amp circuit?

I have a dedicated 20amp circuit for my HT stuff. When I was having issues with my MPS1 it was because of the waveform limiter shutting things down prematurely. Even with everything on and things cranked up loud, I was only using a few amps if that, should not be an issue.

thanks Jay for the reference...

My RPA-1 was (and still is) on a dedicated 20 amp circuit when it was shutting down.

Hi there,
I have a Denon reciever as a preamp & Emotiva LPA-1 happily feeding my M60's and all other speakers and sounds great.Overall Emotiva is a very reliable company, remember that it's mostly problems that get posted on forums more so than customers with no issues.Their failure rate is I believe around 1% which is well below industry standard.Lot's of guys running power hungry speakers there to with no issues.

I have never had a problem with their customer service but I'm curious as to what elementary school did the statistics for Emotiva's failure rate??

Sorry, late to the game here. I've got Emo equipment (MPS-1) and have had no shut down issues like Randy (sirquack). In fact it was his recommendation, at the time, that pushed me over the edge to get Emotiva. I did have a hissing problem which Emo resolved pretty quickly by exchanging amp modules.
