Jag kontaktade dom för ett tag sedan och frågade om internationell leverans.

Svaret:

We actually do ship internationally. On our website, go to the FAQ's tab at
the top. Then on the right side there will be a link for International
Orders.
This will give you a link to a PDF that you can download, and that will tell
you our policies and procedures on international orders.
Please let us know if you have any other questions in regards to ordering
our product.

Thanks!
Best Regards,
Nick

In reference to international orders of Emotiva Audio Products:
Thanks for your interest in Emotiva Audio.
We currently do not have international distributors, and primarily ship within the continental
US . If you are outside of the US and would like to purchase our products, would be happy to
assist you if you agree to the following conditions:
Payment method: This would be done via an international wire transfer of funds from your
bank to ours. Our financial person will contact you and provide the details and a quote to
initiate this transaction.
Shipping: Our equipment is generally quite heavy, and international shipping is accordingly
very expensive. We can discuss shipping methods with you and ship to you in the most cost
effective manner, but tracking the package and guaranteed delivery may be beyond our
control.
Servicing Issues:
1. We will thoroughly test the unit(s) to make sure they are working properly before it
leaves Emotiva.
2. If service is required, the cost of shipping to us and return shipping is the sole
responsibility of the end user. Should you chose to have the servicing done locally, we
would offer any needed technical support by email or phone, as well as send any
necessary parts.
If these terms are agreeable to you, and you'd like to pursue purchasing Emotiva products,
you can initiate the process by contacting me at cathy@emotiva.com, or by calling 1-877-
EMO-TECH. International purchases are handled on a case by case basis.

Deras 2, 3 och 7 kanals steg i lägre prisklassen ser ju mer prisvärda ut:
XPA-3 Three Channel Power Amplifier: $499
UPA-7 Seven Channel Power Amplifier: $549
RPA-2 Two Channel Power Amplifier: $699

Lägg till frakt och moms så är det ändå billigare än dom flesta konkurenter med liknande produkter på svenska marknaden.
Sen har ju 2 kanals steget analoga VU mätare också, det är alltid en bonus : )

Tackar för svaret Nahaz,

Jag tycker även den större modellen är prisvärd om man jämför med slutsteg som har liknande specifikationer... Är det någon som har koll på om klass H är något som påverkar elräkningen i stor utsträckning?

class G operation involves changing the power supply voltage from a lower level to a higher level when larger output swings are required. There have been several ways to do this. The simplest involves a single class AB output stage that is connected to two power supply rails by a diode, or a transistor switch. The design is such that for most musical program material, the output stage is connected to the lower supply voltage, and automatically switches to the higher rails for large signal peaks [ thus the nickname rail-switcher]. Another approach uses two class AB output stages, each connected to a different power supply voltage, with the magnitude of the input signal determining the signal path. Using two power supplies improves efficiency enough to allow significantly more power for a given size and weight. Class G is becoming common for pro audio designs. [Historical note: Hitachi is credited with pioneering class G designs with their 1977 Dynaharmony HMA 8300 power amplifier.]


class H operation takes the class G design one step further and actually modulates the higher power supply voltage by the input signal. This allows the power supply to track the audio input and provide just enough voltage for optimum operation of the output devices [thus the nickname rail-tracker]. The efficiency of class H is comparable to class G designs. [Historical note: Soundcraftsmen is credited with pioneering class H designs with their 1977 Vari-proportional MA5002 power a mplifier.]

Med tanke på dom relativt små flänsarna på deras förstärkare så skulle jag tro att effektiviteten är ganska hög.

Hade en processor LMC-1 för ett par år sen,
http://emotiva.com/lmc1.html
men den hade så mycket barnsjukdomar att jag till slut gav upp Fick till slut returnera den och pengarna tillbaka. Bytte själv en del kort i den och kunde konstatera att dom måste haft stora problem med kvaliteten på korten (Kina tillverkade, de ytmonterade komponenterna såg i en del fall ut att vara handmonterade(!) skitiga kort och allmänt rörigt.
Förhoppningsvis har dom fått bättre ordning nu?

Billigt var de ju, men...

(sen blev det en Audiolab 8000AV som jag f.ö. är mycket nöjd med!)
