Didn't see this posted, if it has sorry about that.
Emotiva extended their 10% off of $100(WINTER10)/20% off of $1,999(SNOW20) deal.
If someone is looking for an external amplifier to drive a 9 channel setup their XPA-9 amp comes out to $1759 before taxes.
The configuration for this is:
5 X 300 high powered single-channel Modules
2 X 65 stereo Modules
Emotiva makes some pretty good amps and this would be plenty powerful for most setups.
Figured I would bring this to light in case someone was in the market and pointing out a good deal IMO.

Distortion, timing errors, and jitter: oh my!
There is no magic in sound reproduction, but there are a lot of ripoffs.
If you have the space, adding in inexpensive Atmos speakers is a somewhat nice upgrade. They really don't need to timbre match the rest of the system (like the rears). Very little information goes to those channels. I think there's diminishing returns after more than 5.2.2 (two subs, though some rooms really prefer three).
I upgraded from 7.2 to 7.2.4 Atmos recently and switched from an ICE amp based AVR with external amplification for the fronts to a separate pre/pro. If you have a good sized room, quality gear and pay attention to proper speaker placement, the upgrade to Atmos is absolutely worth it.
Outlaw mono block amps are outstanding.
I have 3 for LRC.
The one thing I will tell everyone is don't listen to anyone and listen with your ears. From Emotiva, Outlaw, McIntosh to Monoprice I have listened to and bought a lot of equipment in 53 years.
One thing is some were 1/2 right and others 1/2 wrong 😁🙄.
Return on investment is decided with your ears not opinions. Not even mine. Specs are not measured equal by all. There are a few reviewers on YouTube I would watch. Cheap audio man and Stephen Gutenberg. Not entertaining, informative and opinionated with physical stats.
Merry Xmas all.
Agreed.
