emotiva b1+ - Forever Analog

I recently ordered the new Emotiva B2+ speakers to review as I’m always recommending the Emotiva B1+ model to friends looking for affordable bookshelf speakers.

As I was reading back through my review of the B1+ speakers, I thought it would be more interesting to write an article comparing the two speakers for anyone who might own the B1+ speakers and are considering upgrading to the new B2+ models.

I’ve narrowed down the differences between the speakers to three categories: size, specs and sound.

Let’s discuss each difference below to help you decide if upgrading to the B2+ is the right decision for you.

I’ve always suggested ELAC bookshelf speakers to friends, but that might be changing thanks to the Emotiva Airmotiv B1+ speakers.

I live in Nashville and buy a lot of audio gear, both new and vintage. During the pandemic I decided to buy a new amp and bookshelf speakers from Emotiva.

Emotiva is located in Franklin, TN, just about 40 miles from where I live. I’ve heard a lot of great things about the company the past few years, but haven’t purchased any of their products.

During the holiday season, my wife and I decided to remodel our living room instead of buying each other gifts we really didn’t need. We moved into our house six years ago and still hadn’t painted the walls or hung any of our framed concert posters. I had an old entertainment center that held my vintage stereo components along with the flat screen TV sitting on top. I wanted to mount the TV on the wall and make room for more stereo components on the shelf underneath.

I thought this would be a good time to introduce new pieces of gear into my stereo system and Emotiva seemed the right company to try out after reading many positive reviews and being impressed with their affordable prices.
