Do larger planar speakers produce more accurate sound?

@goofyfoot How do you like your ASR? Resolution? How often do you have to replace the batteries?

chungjh, The ASR Emitter 2 Exclusive is what I have and I've never regretted purchasing it. Recently, I had some issues with the output relays but that seems to be resolved. I've replaced the acid gel batteries once since I bought it in 2011.

The soundstage is very wide. It actually matches up with my Quad 2905's perfectly. Though admittedly, the Quad's are a pain to deal with. The ASR detail is more than I've ever heard with any other system. It is a very musical combination. Non fatiguing. Pitch black background and well balanced. I also own the smaller ASR phono amp.

The designer/manufacturer is remarkable. He'll stay on the phone or will email with you for as long as you need. He's very attentive. Finding the output relay issue required some time and he always got back to me immediately. 

Anyway, it's a great piece and I'd recommend it to anyone but if your stereo requirements are more modest, then the smaller Emitter 1 might be a better fit. 

goofyfoot, what other amps have you compared it with for your Quad? If you like the Quad sound, you should try Sound Labs ESLs. They are incredible.

My Quad’s, only my ASR. I’ve heard the Martin Logan CLX’s with I believe an Ayre amp and preamp. I’ve heard the 63’s and 57’s with an NAD and possibly Mark Levinson’s, hard to remember. I’m hoping to hear the 57’s with a vintage Marantz tube amp, not the 8b’s but I wish. I’m planning on ordering a pair of Magnepan LRS’s for when my Quad’s are with the repair tech.

When I bought my 2905’s, it was right after AIG opened their factory in China. The adhesive they used for the louvre over top of the perforated sheet was too sparse. So that adhesive joint is more prone to breaking and so far I’ve had to replace eight  panels between both speakers. AIG panels are now using more adhesive at those joints and they’re spraying the circuit boards with an additional protective layer to minimize arcing so hope for the best.

Here’s a video link to how the Magnepan LRS is made;
