Reviews of Emotiva Gear

I admit to being a long time fan of many of the publications represented here and I had a particular fondness for "The Perfect Vision" and look forward to Playback, The Absolute Sound and the regular reviews on this site. I do have a question. There is a company called Emotiva whose products are not mentioned in any reviews? Why am I asking this? I have to admit I am considering the purchase of some of their equipment and I find no reviews of their gear? They have been around for a while, have a very good price point, not at the white van level of course, so I am surprised that no one is reviewing their products?

Can anyone offer a theory on this?

By the way, I am not an employee of the company and have no financial interests in the company just a potential customer of theirs who wonders why a site like AVGuide has not reviewed their products?

I reviewed their gear for Ultimate AV.com.

They may have the reviews online, I don't know for sure.

In short I felt Emotiva delivered a fine value - I liked their pre better than the power amp due to fan noise issues with the amp.

Steve. thanks for your prompt post! I enjoyed reading your review (felt your pain with four units having to be swapped in and out). My question is still why no more reviews, yours is from 2005. AVguide has assembled some top authors, does wide ranging reviews and to me this manufacturer seems under represented. Maybe I am incorrect in that assumption.
