Introduction
Emotiva is an A/V brand well-known to all of us who are dollar-concious (and in this economy, that's a lot of people, including me). As such, we search out products that look good, sound good, are well-built, and don't have our Mastercard® refuse the charge because it is over our limit. That doesn't mean we expect everything, such as 1/2" thick brass face plates and fully balanced outputs. We just want a good value. Something that gives a little more than we might otherwise expect for the price.
That's Emotiva.
