hi, i have had the emc1up for about 5 months now and can only say that it was one of the best that i had auditioned(and beleive me i had listened to about ten from chord to naim).
I have also purchased the 4.8 with a couple of nemo monoblocks.
have just ran in the new leema xanda speakers and all is well with me and the sound that pours from them. I have also invested in some atlas cables(mavros) good scottish company. Guess where i live?
I would advise to buy the spider as well as it does make it, a little better sounding.
