Emotiva UMC-200

This is the highly sought after UMC-200 pre-pro from Emotiva.  It will serve as the centerpiece of your home theater.  I purchased the unit the last of December, 2012, and recently did the firmware update successfully.  Most buyers of the preamp have to be placed on a waiting list to get theirs.  I know I waited over a month to get mine.  This is your chance to get on right away and a really good price.  This unit lists for $699 but normally sells for $599.  This unit comes with a 5 year transferable warranty.
