    so far, bad service with Emotiva

    5 year transferable warranty takes care of that pretty good. But I concur, ther RCA sockets should not be PCB mounted but mounted directly to the back plate of the chassis (or they should at least use some higher quality PCB-mounted sockets, if they are available). They are not hard to replace...

    Does changing speaker's power cord make a difference

    This is not completely true as any modulation, for example the ripple in the DC bias voltage, will most directly affect the output of the speaker. Power cords act differently filtering RFI. Every cord actually filters RFI at some extent because of cord's limited bandwidth. Line filter could...

    Does changing speaker's power cord make a difference

    Hard to tell, you have to try that out yourself for ex. with the cords that you have with the monos. HV-bias draws very, very little current when the panel is functioning properly, usually one can play stats for over a day without the cord even plugged. I highly doubt that changing the cords...

    just starting... which ML's to begin with?

    I would personally go for a model (ongoing of discontinued) that does not have "the" midrange glare like some models do. Of course this has something to do with cabling and amplification choices, but the tendency to have midrange glare is there with some models (like Vista). Basically the...

    How Electrostatic Speakers are made

    Here's an informative thread about building a (full range) electrostatic speaker: http://www.curtpalme.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=26075&start=0 I happen to know the guy that is going to get those stats. ;)

    so far, bad service with Emotiva

    It's normal that tracking number don't show up before the collection/before the package is processed at Fedex facility. Usually a contracted carrier like Fedex collects packets at some fixed time each day. Obviously the amp was not sent the day before, or it was sent too late (after Fedex...

    Emotiva XPA-1 monoblock impressions...

    True, Tonewinner is presumably the master designer behind all of these other three mentioned brands. It has to be quite huge to be to be able to manufacture it's own equipment for eastern market and these three brand into the western market. These three brands may have some differencies compared...

    Emotiva XPA-1 monoblock impressions...

    I find it pretty straightforward to form an opinion of a brand in general based on the cheapest model that you use projectormovielover. X-series has, among other things, higher quality speaker terminals, pretty close to WTB's terminals (my friend has Bladelius's amp that has WTB's terminals)...

    Emotiva XPA-1 monoblock impressions...

    Even though I have heard many Logans, I know not to participate in threads regarding Logans' sound quality, build quality etc. because I don't own the equipment. For the same reason (= you don't own the topic's equipment), why don't you also leave this thread and go somewhere else? You have had...

    Emotiva XPA-1 monoblock impressions...

    Epic fails do sometimes happen when things are done daily basis in large/mass scale (ask from tax administaration :D). I have got the impression that strong majority of Emo customers think that the customer service is top notch. From international customer's point of view, I think it's only from...

    Emotiva XPA-1 monoblock impressions...

    Hi, I have had good responses and resolutions to my problems from the customer service even though I'm an international customer. However it sometimes takes 3 days to get an answer to an email (which tells something) but in the end everything has gone well. If I were in the US I would only call...

    Emotiva XPA-1 monoblock impressions...

    I happen to found this thread while searching various tweaks for my future full range ESL's (no ML's however;)). Just wanted to say that I concur with other XPA-1 praise here, they are really good monoblocks. Balanced circuity, all-polypropylene cap signal path, thick trace PCBs, top notch...
