i read in a lot of forums .. and well this emotiva UL series is getting squaked abotu quite some bit .. and some are trying to compare the pre pro to the 990 .. which i believe to be inacurate .. maybe comparible to the 950 but not the 990 .. the 990 would be more comparable to their higher end model costing 2400 $ ... i am not trying to bash this emotiva because of course i have not personally heard one .. but they have supposedly had beta testers out since jan and i cant find review 1 on it .. also outlaw has proven themselves very strongly emotiva .. well they are affiliated with onix kenwood etc but ??? anyhow .. just looking for input ....
