[QUOTE="Dolby, post: 862571, member: 17"] In the US, the whole thing about Emotiva was that it compared very favorably to units at the [i]same price as it[/i]. However, I've just taken two models and the difference seems to be around [b]30%[/b] on the local pricing, which kinda means it loses it's meaning for being around. I've had 10+ Emotiva units (monoblocks / processors / DACS / preamps / CD players etc) and price / performance, they were hard to be beat. But at 30% premium, you can be sure I'll be taking the Rotel / NAD units ... I'm unsure how it's justified though? *Emotiva XMC-1 @ $2,499.00 *Rotel RSP1582 @ $3,499.00 So the Emotiva compares very favorably at 28% less than Rotel. But bring both machines here, and you're now looking the below (2% more expensive). In other words the Emotiva just added a whopping 30%! *Emotiva XMC-1 @ R69,990.00 *Rotel RSP1582 @ $R67,990.00 If we take the amplifier in discussion, the same price Rotel is also around 30% more expensive. The NAD which 30% more expensive in US, it the same price locally: *Emotiva XPA-2 Gen 3 @ $999.00 *Rotel 1552MK2 @ $999.00 *NAD C275BEE @ $1,299.00 Emotiva XPA-2 Gen 3 @ R25,990.00 Rotel 1552MK2 @ R18,690.00 NAD C275BEE @ R25,590.00 [/QUOTE]
