We are now the distributor of Emotiva (USA)

Many of you would have heard of Emotiva and some probably own Emotiva products. Back then, to buy this one needs to order directly from USA. Come early July, this will be a thing of the past. We will be carrying Emotiva products.

For those who has not heard about Emotiva, here is a brief introduction.

Emotiva started with a simple question:

"Why can't we have amazing audio and video—at prices that don't threaten our mortgage?"

And it was a good question. As high-end audio chased an ever-shrinking market with ever-more-costly gear, the price of sonic nirvana shot out of reach. New audiophiles shook their heads and said, "You know, a soundbar and a receiver may not be that bad. At least I won't be filing for divorce."

At the same time high-end audio prices were climbing, Dan Laufman and his team were helping some of the best names in audio manufacture their gear. Dan saw the inefficiencies in the system, and the ever-climbing prices, and decided to do something about it. His goal was lofty: to deliver stunning performance at sane cost…in products so amazing that they really were the only choice at their price.

The result is Emotiva.

Emotiva is named for Dan's—and his teams'—passion. Their emotional involvement with great music and film, their thrill at bringing top-level performance to more people than ever before, the fun of changing the game of high-end audio. While the team has grown over the years, everyone at Emotiva still hews to the same basic values, and takes pride in creating products that redefine what you see and hear—as well as what you pay.

Why Emotiva

 

The Only Choice for Amazing Performance—And Price

Go ahead. Look around. Compare Emotiva products to the competition. We think you’ll find that anything even remotely comparable will be several times the price. And this goes for any metric: sonic and visual performance, aesthetics and design, quality and finish. If you’re shopping at our price point, Emotiva is probably the only choice!

  

Extensive Investment in R&D and Superior Engineering.

Today's audio systems are complex, far from the simplistic components of yesteryear. Surround sound requires costly test and development gear to keep up with changing standards, and even power amps need microprocessor control to ensure highest performance and longest life. Emotiva makes the investment in equipment, design, and staff to ensure we can create great, modern components. At the same time, our dedicated engineers are recognized leaders in their fields—and they are part of a complete user experience team who create the overall system with thoughtful design, intuitive ergonomics, superior ease of use, and exceptional performance and reliability.

No-Excuses Performance.

We don't play games when testing our products. We use state of the art Audio Precision gear, and we test our amps with all channels driven. For example, our XPA-5 is rated at 200 WPC into 8 ohms. This means that it produces 200 WPC with all channels running and driven to the limits, continuously, for the duration of the test. Compare this to products that are often tested one channel at a time, or use "peak" power to inflate their ratings.

Quality Parts Throughout.

The best design is nothing without premium components. We use audiophile-grade and videophile-grade parts, in proven, critically evaluated circuitry to preserve the original quality of the sound and vision experience.

Designed in USA, Made in USA and Worldwide.

All Emotiva products are designed and engineered at our facilities in Tennessee. Our flagship products like the new XMC-1 are made in our state-of-the art production center on-site, while other products are made by our most efficient manufacturing partners, in China and around the world.

Odyssey Khartago Stereo Extreme SE power amplifier

Although the 110Wpc Odyssey Khartago solid-state stereo amp has been around for better than a decade, it was new to JV until amp-connoisseur Alon Wolf (of Magico) told him he used it in his shop and it was excellent. The Wolfman was right. Although the Khartago doesn’t have all the articulation and transparency of the standard-setting $40k Soulution 710 stereo amplifier, it has a shockingly similar balance (albeit a bit warmer and less transparent), no discernible grain, high resolution, and a deep, wide soundstage. Positively, the best budget amp JV has heard (and the $2k Odyssey Stratos monoblocks are great, too)

Introducing the Odyssey Audio Stratos HT-3 Plus SE Power Amplifier

We are proud to introduce you the latest member of our range of products, Odyssey Audio's Stratos HT-3 Plus SE power amplifier. Our aim is to bring you one the best amplifiers that will not cost you an arm or a leg.

Odyssey Audio is essentially an extension of Klaus Bunge's German Acoustics, which started distributing high end audio products from Germany in 1988. A year later, German Acoustics imported the first Symphonic Line amplifiers. Over the years, German Acoustics succeeded in establishing Symphonic Line as a true reference line of audio products, and won over a highly dedicated and loyal base of Symphonic Line owners. 
 

At the end of the '90's, plans were made to manufacture a more cost effective amplifier and preamplifier line here in the US. Due to the long relationship with German Acoustics, Symphonic Line designed the circuitries for the newly planned products. 

Since the old German Acoustics was known for audio imports only, Odyssey Audio started as a manufacturing company as well as the importer for Symphonic Line . Thus, the Stratos amplifiers and the Tempest preamplifier were planned, designed, and manufactured in Indianapolis, Indiana. Over the past year, Odyssey Audio also started to offer the Khartago and Kismet amplifiers.

Odyssey Audio is from Indiana, USA.
