Hej igen
Så er der kommet et ganske forklarende svar fra Emotiva, som her kommer i uredigeret tilstand vedr. den omtalte XPA-1 monoblok effektforstærker. Jeg håber dette afmystificerer denne tråd, og at Emotiva også for lov at få en fair chance i DK, uanset hvilken holdning til branded og produkterne man har eller ønsker at have.
Emotiva developed this amplifier platform almost 10 years ago with our Chinese partner. Emotiva had exclusive rights to the amplifier, however, that term expired due to a contract loophole and the Chinese manufacturer decided to sell it to Advance, whom we believe sells it for a lot more than Emotiva does. One of the reasons why it was not a deep concern to Emotiva was that we did not have international distribution, their version costs more and we have added technical differences along the way, but yes, the basic topology is the same.
This is one of the many reasons why Emotiva has decided to design and build our products in house from this point on including our X series Gen 3 amplifiers, pre amp processors and DAC's. Emotiva is even developing our own HDMI and Atmos boards so we do not have to live with a situation like this again, as well as bring upgrades to market much faster than our competitors.
At the end of the day, the XPA1-Gen 2 amplifiers are excellent performers at a bargain price and we will continue to sell them as long as demand remains high, and now, at the price we sell them for, that is very high.

Dette er ny information for os, da ikke har gravet så meget i fortiden eller i konkurenternes lignende noget dyrere produkter, forud introduktionen. Hvis vi havde været opmærksom på det, havde vi måske have fokuseret mere på de nyere modeller af X-serien i vores pressemeddelelse, da XPA-1 monoblokken jo nok er Emotivas ældste produkt stadig i produktion/salg. Det beklager jeg, vi er nok blot bare begejstret over at vi endelig kan levere ordentlig Hi-Fi til menneske priser, uden mellemled.
