Do you think the XMC processor is coming out of the Sherbourn folks?

emotiva acquires sherbourn technologies


Hadn't heard anything to that effect, but given the price points of Sherbourn's products, maybe that was what got them in the door with Tact. It will also allow them to differentiate their markets a bit without cannibalizing sales. Emotiva/Sherbourn could be the audio equivalent of Honda/Acura, Chevy/Cadillac, or VW/Audi. You give people a taste of what you're capable of on the budget brand and then have a premium brand to "upsell" them to down the line.

Best,
