Emotiva amplifiers, processors, and speakers — matched to your room by Hearthbeats
Emotiva builds serious amplification in Franklin, Tennessee, and sells it direct — which is exactly why a second opinion is worth having. We match the electronics to the speakers and the room, so the system you end up with sounds like the one you were hoping for.

About Emotiva
High-end performance,
without the high-end markup
Emotiva has spent two decades making amplifiers, processors, and speakers that measure and sound like gear costing several times the price, and it keeps the price down by selling direct rather than through a chain of showrooms. The catch is the one every direct brand has: nobody in the room tells you whether the amp you’re about to buy suits the speakers you already own. That part is what we do. More on putting a system together: Home Theater & Audio.
Where Emotiva fits
The Emotiva lines we recommend most
X Series
The reference end: XPA Gen3 power amplifiers from two to seven channels, Differential Reference monoblocks, processors, and the ERC-4 disc transport. For a dedicated room where the speakers deserve real current.
BasX Series
The same engineering, simplified — BasX mono, stereo, and multichannel amps, plus the TA2+, which puts a receiver, preamp, DAC, and tuner in one box. Where most living-room systems start.
Airmotiv speakers
XT1 and XT3 towers, XC3 center, XB2 bookshelves, XA2 height speakers for Atmos, plus Vaulta outdoor pairs. Folded-ribbon tweeters, and a natural match for Emotiva amplification.
Subwoofers and the supporting gear
Subwoofers, DACs, phono stages, cables. The unglamorous parts that decide whether the system holds together.

Good to know
Emotiva questions we hear every week
Emotiva sells direct — why go through you?
Because the hard part isn’t the transaction, it’s the choice. Which amp for which speakers, how many channels you actually need, where the money makes a difference and where it doesn’t. Tell us what you have and what you want; if the answer is “buy the smaller one,” we’ll say so.
Can I hear Emotiva before I buy?
We keep a private listening setup and can arrange a session by appointment for a serious purchase.
Will Emotiva drive my Klipsch speakers?
Usually very well — Klipsch speakers are efficient, so even the BasX amps have headroom to spare. The right model depends on the room size and how many channels you’re running.
What about warranty and service?
Emotiva sells direct, so its manufacturer warranty runs between you and the factory. Our part is getting the choice right in the first place — and we stay reachable afterwards.
Do you install?
No. Jesse is not a licensed contractor. Many customers set the system up themselves; for wiring and calibration we refer you to an installer we’ve worked with.
