Emotiva BASX A-100

The goal of designing an exceptional audio system is to enrich your audiovisual experience with fantastic sound. It’s about playing music. It’s not about spending too much money or having gold-plated buttons or a diamond-encrusted remote control. You don’t need all sorts of complicated features that you’ll never use. The key to creating an excellent audio system is carefully selecting components with outstanding technical performance and perfect sound quality. Each component in the Emotiva BasX series has been developed to perfectly complement a superb audio system. They incorporate the latest cutting-edge technologies and all the features you need to provide you with the best possible listening experience.

Why the Basx series is so special

As a manufacturer and leader in home audio equipment, Emotiva has found that many people still don’t own high-quality audio equipment. Some of them don’t have the budget to purchase it, while others don’t take the time to try to understand how to use it, and that’s exactly why the brand developed the new Emotiva BasX products. The BasX elements combine excellent sound quality, a carefully chosen set of truly useful features, and great performance, with a simple and elegant design.

All of these criteria together offer a combination you won’t find anywhere else: exceptional sound and excellent value for money. All the components in the new BasX line are designed to be within reach of all music lovers. You don’t need to be a millionaire to own them, and you don’t need to be an engineer to use them. They are carefully designed to provide you with many years of operation and will be as comfortable in your living room as on your audio rack.
