Is the sound warm or neutral?

I am using the Emotiva 200 to drive the two rear channels. The speakers are B&W; 601's. Running just my back channels in 4 channel mode the sound is quite neutral. The amp seems to be built very well. It's a very good looking piece of equipment(shades of Mac.). I'm sorry that I cannot address your question any better. Rear channels don't provide a lot sound to give a good answer to your question.

Although sound is subjective, Emotiva XPA"sound" is clear, accurate, and warm or musical.

I have to sent it back to repair the noise they sent it back but the noise still there

I've found it to be quiet. It's not noisless but the sound is more of a smooth hum than anything halting or harsh. The actual volume of the sound is pretty low.

The noise is not significant, and you'll get used to it the more you use it. The unit is most effective the more you use it.

I have never felt any heat so I'm going to assume cold. It's ultrasonic so I would imagine there's little to no heat involved in that.

I don't believe there is a light (weird) but when I turn it on, you can hear it. I still like mine for the price it gives a good sound!

It has different settings and works well as "white noise" regardless of what setting you use, the sound stays the same. It is a very low sound that we find soothing.

Haven't noticed any noise at all. We only have my husbands side in use because he gets cold easy and I keep my side turned off because I am plaged with hot flashed and supply my own heat naturally. If both sides are turned on then maybe there would be a sound but I haven't checked it out. I'm a light sleeper so any sound would keep me awake all night.

I find the bass neutral and accurate. I have not heard the other product. LL

Yes, it's the ballast warming up. The sound should diminish somewhat but will still be hearable if you're real close.

Moderate noise. Not really noticeable at all. I have two of them in the same area.

It's not a cool tone. It's very warm. I'd guess that the cord is approximately six feet long.

The only sounds you'll ever hear is a low click/ping when it comes back on or turns back off after it reaches the temperature you've set. And when it drops below the set temperature. But it's very low you'll hardly noticed it... Some people have said they've heard that sound besides then, but I haven't heard that. Only the two times I mentioned above. Trust me, you will not be disappointed with your purchase. For how fast it'll heat up the space, and of course how long you'll have it. I've had mine for 7 or 8 years, and it's still performs like day one. Hopefully this helps you determine to buy it. I'm not gonna say not buy, because you really should. I'm just saying...

There is a slight clicking sound when the heat turns on. I am a light sleeper and it has not bothered me although if you are looking for complete sound obliteration this may not work for you.

I haven't used them for long time to see differences. To my ears the sound is the way i want from the beginning (i do not like heavy bass and prefer to be slightly bright in the high frequencies).

It has a slight hum, but not noticeably loud. I've had it for about 6 months, and there's nothing I would complain about it

Hi David: My unit is very quiet. To test the neutrality of sound I set the EQ sliders at 6db across the frequency spectrum. I then switched between the equalized setting and by passing the EQ entirely; compensating for volumes. I was unable to detect any difference in the sound. I cannot comment on the difference in the two units as I have only heard the older one. Good luck with your EQ hunt.Harry Harris
