Re: [SurroundSound] Re: New AV Receiver

This is insane and sick.

 

One thing I can tell you is that these are built to last. I still remember the day of my Emo arrival. Good times. You can tweak and tweak with this equipment. I'm glad it works in Aussie!

 

Congrats!

I would like to thank you all for your thoughtful advise regarding my new amplifier/AVRneeds.  I am the proud owner of a new Emotiva UMC-1 and UPA-500, along with 3 x ERM 6.2 speakers for LCR duty.

Did a lot of research on this stuff and thanks also to RLW for direction.

I now know what the term "headroom" refers to as the Emo stuff brings out parts of much loved music that I had never heard previously, in particular 96/24 sources.

It is entry level kit for sure but I am now a "seperates" kinda guy.
