Their “First Looks” are almost always fluff just based on reported features/specs. It will be interesting if in their full review the post measurement which they usually do. They gave a stellar review to Emo’s speaker rollout but then no one else reviewed them for a year and a half and then basically said that their good for the money but nothing really special.

Thanks for post that I hadn’t seen it.

It's so interesting that so many people here ridicule Emotiva, an electronics company that tries to give the customer a lot of bang for little buck, pretty much the same way they ridicule Bose, who's philosophy is pretty much exactly the opposite.

As the owner of an Emotiva product I must say I was shocked by level of performance, and level of quality I got for the money I spent. Quite similar to the shock I got from the performance I got out of my M80's for the money I spent on them.

I'm happy with my EP800, but if these new subwoofers get good reviews I would definately recommend them to friends looking for good bass, but who might not have a lot of coin.

Micah, I think the ridicule was for the "review".

I have OFTEN considered Emotiva amps. They just don't seem very focused as a company, and that lack of focus seems to be manifesting itself in some unpleasant ways with the processor. I also think that the "we have a container of product on the way from China" dynamic troubles some people, especially in the context of AV123's demise.

For my own part, I just don't see anything really very interesting about these sub offerings, and would probably be more likely to become a customer of eD (or future products from Tweak City Audio) at that price point.

Speaking of TCA, I wonder if Craig is noticing any fallout from his somewhat close association with av123?

I fully agree with you on this topic. Despite its almost thirty year existence, Axiom will also have issues with new equipment as it is introduced. This is nothing out of the ordinary.

To give them credit, in the relatively short amount of time of its existence, Emotiva has accomplished considerable during that period and despite its initial issues, the UMC-1 and the forthcoming XMC-1 in the area of price/performance, are products unparalleled in the industry.

As far as reviews are concerned, advertising dollars talk and being an internet-only company, thus far only the internet only publications have reviewed their products which for I would say "so what"? In the end, like any other organization, what the buyer's say will determine the success or failure of the company, not the volume of reviews.

I never have and never will ridicule Bose. I look at Emotiva the same way I look at AV123 because IMO they have a nearly identical business model, one which I personally wasn’t comfortable dealing with, however, that doesn’t in any way diminish the good experiences others have had with both companies (all three if you count Bose).

If Axiom does something I think is wrong I take them to task here in the forum, the EP350 amp pictures is and example, or my less than stellar reviews of the VP150. I see a problem I’m going to talk about it and the problem I see with Emotiva right now is a company who’s products get over hyped by a core group of people (including a professional review site) and who’s business model IMO in not one that bodes well for the long term success. That doesn’t mean there is anything wrong with any of their products just that for me the risk in doing business with them does not outweigh the benefit of the price of their product. For others it worth it, hell there are still people ordering double MFW-15s from AV123 because they are a “smoking hot deal.”

And rest assured that any tongue lashing either Emo or AV123 gets here is nothing compared to what is being said about them in other forums were people aren’t nearly a civil. I think a lot of what you are seeing is the backlash from Emo being over-hyped on various internet forums. Eventually when their products get into the hands of more diverse people who don’t see the stuff as “game changing” and say so it starts flame wars with the fanboys which in turn generates even more bad blood toward the brand. I’m sure every new internet brand goes through some sort of grown pains, I just don’t like what I see below the surface in Emotiva when layers of it‘s onion are peeled back. YMMV.
