Emotiva Lands in Australia

Emotiva, manufacturer of high performance, yet budget friendly audio-visual products has finally landed in Australia via Final Link Audio.

What started in 2004 as a "manufacturer direct" business model, selling to end-users around the globe from their US based website, has grown to attract a worldwide following today.

Bucking the trend and selling direct, allowed the US designed and China-manufactured brand to keep prices ultra-low. Enquiries were constantly fielded from international distributors looking to handle the brand in their territorities, but that just didn't have a place in their business model. Until now.

Now an established brand manufacturing everything from home theatre and stereo amplifiers, speakers, headphone amplifiers and more, Emotiva has changed their tune, opening up bricks and mortar dealers and appointing distributors worldwide.

Australia's Final Link Audio, already representing brands such as Cayin, SVS, and ATI to name a few, were fortunate enough to be rewarded for throwing their hat into the ring. This week, their first shipment of Emotiva has arrived and all but walked straight out the door, according to main man, Shane Lewis.

While their manufacturing is currently split between China and U.S, Emotiva have said that in time they're moving most of the production to their home country, all while retaining their incredibly low prices.

Priding themselves on their high-value offering, a reference class flagship offering in the XPA-2 Two channel Power Amplifier, class AB, rated at 500w/channel (4 ohms) retails for a cool $1,799 RRP. Or for the ultimate in surround sound, the XPA-7 which offers seven channels at 315w/channel (4 ohms) will set you back just $2,999 RRP.

The XPA-200 is a two channel class A/B power amplifier rated at 240w/channel into 4 ohms, or 150w/channel into 8 ohms, available for just $999 RRP.

applause awards

Each time StereoNET reviews a product, it is considered for an Applause Award. Winning one marks it out as a design of great quality and distinction – a special product in its class, on the grounds of either performance, value for money, or usually both.

Applause Awards are personally issued by StereoNET’s global Editor-in-Chief, David Price – who has over three decades of experience reviewing hi-fi products at the highest level – after consulting with our senior editorial team. They are not automatically given with all reviews, nor can manufacturers purchase them.

The StereoNET editorial team includes some of the world’s most experienced and respected hi-fi journalists with a vast wealth of knowledge. Some have edited popular English language hi-fi magazines, and others have been senior contributors to famous audio journals stretching back to the late 1970s. And we also employ professional IT and home theatre specialists who work at the cutting edge of today’s technology.

We believe that no other online hi-fi and home cinema resource offers such expert knowledge, so when StereoNET gives an Applause Award, it is a trustworthy hallmark of quality. Receiving such an award is the prerequisite to becoming eligible for our annual Product of the Year awards, awarded only to the finest designs in their respective categories. Buyers of hi-fi, home cinema, and headphones can be sure that a StereoNET Applause Award winner is worthy of your most serious attention.
