I feel the same way. It makes them look gaudy and cheap IMO...kinda like putting underglow on a honda civic.

Hey, all the Bose home units use slot loaders lol. I can't think of a single reason to use a slot loading mechanism other than a foolish attempt to appear high end to the ignorant consumer.

Yeah I know some expensive Meridian players use slot loaders but they are the vast minority.

Absolutely.

I have never actually heard an Emotiva unit first hand but if they sound good for the price i guess you have to make some compromises.
