No, really. In the same way that "Scion" would be a no name car company if it wasn't just a Toyota badge. It's not that they're bad, actually they seem quite good, but where is the track record associated withthe name "Emotiva"? What sort of gear did they make in the year 2000? 1990? 2002?

Obviously they "have a name", but they're too young to have an established track record, which is pretty much the definition of "no name".

Outlaw is young too, but they have been around a bit longer and are working very hard to "make a name". I think they're succeeding in doing so.

Also, thanks for the first hand experience with the Emotiva amp. Was it fully populated with the mono modules? How often did the fans come on? What did it take to get it hot? What sort of loads were hooked to it most of the time?

While modular plug in features for a pre/pro are not attractive to me, modular channels like this are pretty nifty.


EDIT:


PS - the Emotiva gear is pretty.
