What reviewers are saying
We read all the reviews. Here's what reviewers feel most strongly about:
- Their modular architecture allows for customer-configurable and upgradable multi-channel amplifier designs.
- They offer a high power output and robust build quality, providing a feeling of exceptional value for the money.
- Emotiva gear focuses on delivering a transparent, honest sound that amplifies the source signal without adding its own distinct coloration.
Our favorite reviewer quotes:
- "Miles's trumpet penetrated the dense, wall-to-wall, floor-to-ceiling soundfield with the most elastic and saturated tones. The bell of his trumpet was right there in front of me." (https://www.stereophile.com/content/emotiva-xpa-gen3-two-channel-power-amplifier)
- "The Emotiva amplifier held and guided the Magnepan .7s with almost a lover's touch: not too tight, not too loose. Together, they made vocal tones and instrumental textures into a pulsing, flowing, sensual delight, and made soundstages and performers' images on them larger and more tangible than they could ever be with a small, stand-mounted speaker." (https://www.stereophile.com/content/emotiva-xpa-gen3-two-channel-power-amplifier)
- "The overall presentation was everything you could want from a good hifi setup: detailed without being harsh, neutral and well-balanced without being boring, dynamic yet effortless, and delightfully massive in terms of soundstage while still delivering exceptional image specificity. Swapping the Monitor and Paradigm speakers in for the RSLs, but leaving the SVS sub in place and leaving the 90Hz crossover engaged, I went looking again for those minor recesses mentioned above and couldn't find them." (https://www.soundstageaccess.com/index.php/equipment-reviews/1164-emotiva-basx-ta1-stereo-receiver)
- "From the very first note, I was in love with the way the TA1 handled the delicate harmonics of the organ, the utter precision of the percussion, and the nonchalant meandering of Burdon's vocals, whose textures were rendered beautifully by the amp. Again, the soundstage was positively expansive, both in terms of width and depth, and although I recognized a bit of liveliness in the presentation, I don't think that liveliness can be attributed to a tonal imbalance."
