Is this the latest-generation version? (i.e. same minor updates as the rest of the XPA line?) The photo looks like the previous gen vs Emotiva's site.

No, It is the 1st generation. The 2nd has few enhancement over previous generation and 2 black side plate instead of silver, other than that power spec is the same.

Actually, they are Generation 2. I emailed Emotiva to ask this question specifically about this Amazon ad. They assured me that even though the picture doesn't show it, they "are Generation 2...we no longer have or sell Generation 1 [flex amps]." So, it's the same amp you'd get direct from Emotiva currently. This communication was today.

The product that is being shipped and sold is the "Gen 2 version" I emailed Emotiva just to make sure and clarify things, and they said that it is indeed the Generation 2 version but are working of switching the image photos to reflect the Gen 2 black accent plates. This communication was today also.

Probably V1.0 but I really don't remember for sure. It was a year ago that I bought it. Sorry.

Their Version 12 was phenomenal. But from what I understand, the company was sold and is under new ownership, so product isn't quite what it used to be. Good luck!

Yes, it is the older model. You can tell by the buttons. I don't know why it is being sold as new when it is clearly not the new model. Save the $3 and buy it from an honest seller.

Here's the thing, I threw out the packaging. Either way, Monster still quarantee's that if product becomes obsolete, they will upgrade for free. I believe 15.8 is the current standard. Sorry not of much assistance.

The picture is clearly the new model. This is misleading if people are getting the older model. The current model is a significant improvement. This posting should be reported to Amazon, as the picture is luring people into thinking this is the current model.

I ordered and Im sending it back it's version 2.24, Im also Looking for v4.0.

It's the full product. Not an upgrade. But I would now recommend Sony Vegas Pro 13. The new version is much more stable for me and my rendering times have been cut in half. Many people may disagree, but I have found v.13 to be extremely good. Good luck.

I chickened out and cancelled this order. I was jazzed but decided to wait awhile. The new tutorial books only have Vista, so it's chancy with older XP. How long before XP is landfill.

I don't know what they mean by "old version"...pictured is the same V2 we purchased about six years ago and also the same unit currently being sold at B&H.; Unless there's been some software or firmware update that I'm not aware, I think it's the same beast it's always been.

The Elite is considered version 2 (.v2) and it a different design from the basic. Take a lot and the images of both to see the changes.

Thanks for the heads up Oscar. I just had Amazon call me back about it, and they do NOT currently carry the new version.

Product is from the XP era. I haven't used mine for some time but remember having to cobble the install together to even get it working well in 7. My upgrade to Win8 was so painful and broke everything that was working on 7, I resigned myself to downgrading back to 7. I'm a former Microsoft support tech so it came at great frustration to downgrade. This doesn't help you but I didn't want to just say it won't work without an explanation. The Olympus software people don't have any idea and are just trying to cycle old code with alleged fixes. I don't see much chance. I use my smartphone now and download files to a PC or Mac when needed. Best regards, Ed Product is from the XP era.

I don't know anything about the older version so I can't help you, sorry. New is good?

A recent review says it is now the new version. Looks like this: http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41wa2bQAnIL._SL500_SS100_.jpg

I am told emWave Pro is the newest version. I was also told that owners of the older (maybe just the lat previous if there was more than one??) can upgrade free to Pro over the web.
