Didn't you order a nylon guitar with classical dimensions? In that case the string height should be fine.

Emerald usually makes crossover nylon guitars but gives them the same action as a normal classical guitar would have. IMO a crossover nylon, which has less string spacing, should have its action set lower in order to play comfortable.
Ok, I just had to get that off my chest but like I said, you should be good.

In the end I suppose it depends on the type of strings you prefer. Emerald sets up their "nylon" guitars with very high tension carbon strings. If that is not your cup of tea, maybe you could ask Emerald to set up the guitar for your preferred string tension.
I am used to high tension nylon strings on my wood guitars but these high tension carbons feel stiff in comparison.

The intonation of my X7 nylon is as good as they come. I would not worry about it unless you decide to drastically alter the action from the factory settings.
