Emotiva LPA-1 Impressions by Joe Sixpack

[Rich-n-Texas]

They're BLACK! Black as the... wait a minute. I better not say that. Worf's been hangin' 'round these parts recently. I'm already in deep doodoo with him and his Romulian friends.

I do think though that at some point I'm going to replace the surrounds with these because the current P6 floorstanders are becoming troublesome from a placement standpoint. I'd buy these CM-1's w/o the stands and put them on shelves.

Nothing wrong with black, as long as it goes with the rest of your decor. Let's see them in their natural habitat.

Well, right now the entire room is apart. I'm in the process of getting the hole in my ceiling repaired so I can go to closing on my mortgage re-fi. The fix will be finished tomorrow and I should have all components in place shortly thereafter.

I predict that some day I'll be finished fussin' with this room and I'll finally be able to just sit down with a hot babe and enjoy the fruits of my labor.

Hot babe? You found a hot babe? You been holding out on your AR friends? Does she like audio? Does she like all that extra head room that your new beefy amp gives you?
Come on. Spill the beans Rich guy from Texas.

YEAH , those holes in the roof really cut down on the loan value.
But theres a downside to everything, you're "babe" wont be so hot when the air conditioning stops escaping from the roof .
AND you have these great speakers and you're STILL not satisfied?

[GMichael]

I'd rather have a pair of these.

is Darth Vader your big idol?

nah, seriously, exellent speakers and all eh, but the only chance that they would be in my house would be if I was blind...

Verity audio's are very good speakers too...

Keep them spinning,

I love the modern look. Imagine these in a room with clear furniture.

yeah, they'd look better there, but I just don't like them that much (esthetically...)...

just like I don't like wilsons because of that...

these, however I do like, and they also have a reputation of being 'different'



and if money were no object at all, kharma would be on my list too...



just not in black

Why settle for just clear furniture?

My ears don't like horns.

SPEAKING of Dr Who, these look like something you'd bury a Dalek in

I keep my amp on 24/7. When I power on my receiver and the relay clicks, I get a pop through the speakers. Don't know which one's to blame here but if I power on the amp last, no pop. Fortunately I have the receiver's inital volume set to -35 so I'm not concerned about it.
