Emotiva BASX CD-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 to choose the components well, with excellent 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 leading manufacturer of 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 selected set of truly useful features and great performance, with a simple and elegant design.

All of these criteria make it possible to offer a combination that you won’t find anywhere else: exceptional sound and a very good price-performance ratio. All the components of the new BasX line are designed to be within reach of all music lovers. You don’t need to be rich to own them, and you don’t need to be an engineer to know how to use them. They are carefully designed to provide you with many years of worry-free operation, and they will be as comfortable in your living room as they are on your audio rack.

You can create a complete music system from the BasX elements and get a true audiophile experience. You can also add one or two BasX components to complement your existing audio system. Good sound doesn’t have to be expensive or complicated.
