Had my Emtron DX2 (4cx1600 version) for 10 years now. Puts out full
power and has never, ever, given a moment's trouble.
At the time I bought the amp, it was the flagship of the range. Last
time I spoke with the manufacturer, he said that he would be ashamed
to put that amp into the marketplace today. In other words, many
improvements have been made to the product/s over the last 10 years.
With the last 10 years of experience with the DX2 behind me, I would
not hesitate to buy Emtron again, should the desire or need ever arise.
Others on this forum will of course have views and experience/s
different to mine but that's ok. We are all different so our needs will vary.
