Emotiva and B&W

[Hammie]

Okay, I am in the very early stages of researching, but my 2-3 goal is to get a B&W 8 Series setup. My question is whether anyone has used or seen Emotiva amps with B&W speakers.

I think the amps look good both in pictures and on paper. I know a few people on this forum love theirs. Just not sure if I should keep these on the radar or look at some of the more common brands associated with B&W speakers such as Krell, NAD, Classe, etc.

TIA,

Hey Lou,

Companies like the ones I bolded are in a different league entirely, both from a quality and financial investment perpsective. That's not to say Emotvia couldn't or wouldn't work for you and do a very good job. There is no question that the EMO's are exellent value and a lot of guys own their gear. I think there are some Emotiva threads here, so check them out. You might also give OUTLAW amps a look. They're also internet-direct and have a very good reputation.

Thanks, John, for taking the time to respond. I've looked through quite a few of the threads.
