This announcement related to the fact that MLS (as the public face of AV123) was worried that his customers (the ones that bought LMC-1's through AV123 prior to some time last summer or fall) were disappointed in the ongoing problems with the product. The deal is unrelated to Emotiva, who has been out on their own for sales and support for a year or so now. Emotiva is working on both an LMC-2 and a DMC-2 (and one would suspect perhaps an MMC-2 as well), but a release date is impossible to predict (especially after the LMC-1's release date was a moving target for close to a year and a half and the LMC-1's firmware update dongle has been due to become available "shortly" since some time in April).
