I wasn't aware of your previous row with Emotiva. Ignoring the actual brand names, I would take issue with the US vs "somewhere else" production being better or worse (ignoring the politics). As long as the device is competently designed and it is built with parts per the design spec, who cares where it is made?
I'm not questioning the
quality of Emotiva's amps because I haven't heard them - I'm speaking to the
cost difference.
