Just one observation on the BasX A11. It says it's Class H, but the internal photo clearly shows a large toroidal transformer, which usually wouldn't be there with Class H. I'd like to know what that is. Maybe that powers the input stage, but that's my only guess. That transformer doesn't...

FWIW, through the years I've bought something like 16 Emotiva components. They've always been a quirky company, and used to be a lot more "experimental" than they are now. Also, 10-15 years ago their quality control left a lot to be desired. I haven't seen any indication of that in the last...

I noticed that, and it is curious. Fortunately, Emotiva is well established, as is their BasX amp line. I have two 2 channel ones that drive my Atmos speakers, and the specs of those are the same is this one. So, I expect it is the exact same design, just scaled to 11 channels. I expect...

Well, this is a prickly topic I've dug into quite deeply, but unless/until there is a quantum change in Home Atmos, there is little reason to set up a system greater than 7.x.4.

Not intended that way, for certain. :P However, you can get The BasX A11 and the Marantz AV7706 pre/pro for $4,500 MSRP, which is $2,000 less than the Denon AVR-A1H receiver. Now, I realize that with the Denon you have the potential for 15 channels of processing (not power), but how many...

When I originally wrote the first post, I was in a bit of a hurry, and realized I didn't explain things as well as I'd like. So I've edited the post to fill in more details and explain more.

Emotiva has just announced the impressive BasX A11 Eleven channel power amp at the price of $1,299. I believe this is a much needed component, in the world of Atmos/DTS:X. The specs are truly surprising, and Emotiva has always been quite conservative with their power ratings. IOW, their amps...
