The Emotiva 2012 holiday sale started today.

How long does this sale last? I didnt see anything right off on their website stating how long the sale goes.

Cool I will treat myself close to xmas time.

When they claim it to be "their biggest sale of the year", historically is this true? Just wondering as I'm building my theater and planned to use their amps, but I don't need them yet. However, if this is indeed when they have the best deals, I may have to pick them up early. Thanks!

Many of the products are new for this year and have not been on sale before now or for some just the second time. I think this sale pricing is good and if you need them in 1 to 3 months this maybe a good time to buy. Sure they maybe 5% less or higher at the next big sale.The big savings is when a unit is closed-out, but most units are too new to be closed out for years to come. Even at list price these amps are a good value, a good amp always has value, its the one price of hardware thats always useable... A good amp never gets outdated like most other hardware... Amps are the only real long term investment grade hardware in the audio chain, buy the best amps that you can afford, you won't be sorry...

Thanks for the update.

Can anyone tell me...

• Can the XPA-5 be plugged into a battery backup?
• Is this a really bad Idea?
• Does it need a dedicated line?
• 15a or 20a needed if dedicated?

Ths would drive the front three and front uppers, my receiver would drive the sides and rears.

I would only have the preamp on battery back up, you want the amp to shut down asap, and don't want any pops from the preamp, as only the speakers are at risk..

That makes sense. Thank you!
