I can chime in here. About a year ago I asked myself what direction to go. Seperates or or AIO receiver. My Pioneer 1015 was not up to the task of driving my M80's.
I wondered about the Emotiva amps but was reluctant due to some reviews here and some accusations in the Emo camp. In the end I went with the Alesis RA-500. For me the M80's come alive now with sound the Pioneer could not deliver. I also use the Behringer Ep2500 for my DIY subs and aside from the fan noise which can be fixed with new fans, it is great. A big consideration with using the pro amps is power rating. The Behringer EP2500 is rated at 15 amps, so you gotta consider dedicated circuits etc.
Yes these amps are made in China. I am pretty sure all the Emotiva parts are made over seas too. Aren't the voice coils for Axiom speakers also made in China?

The drivers are made in China. Like what was mentioned before in this thread, its not a big deal parts are made in China, it is the quality control implementations pertaining to the parts used (are they up to spec?), workers and factory that are important which reflect the final quality of the product.

It should be noted that Axiom owns its production facilities (or at least the company) in China so they have complete control over the manufacturing process.

Fred, I was under the impression that foreign investors are not permitted to purchase controlling interests in Chinese companies without special permission of the Chinese government. Things may have changed.

Yeah, 2x6; the times are a changin' and although there are still a bunch of hoops to be jumped through, difficult is better than impossible and a WOFE(Wholly-Owned Foreign Enterprise)is entirely feasible, with tax exemptions in certain locations. The site of this consulting firm which specializes in China has some relevant points.

I found a place in Mississauga that has them at the same price as Axe, with GST and PST it would end up around $100 more than getting one through the US though. That's a fair amount on a $180 amp. can you pm me the location in mississauagaÉ Thanks!
