ASR Emitter 1 , Does can drive B&W 802d ?


Hi
I want try B&W 802d with ASR Emitter 1 but i'm not sure ,
can it drive the 802 ? some says, it would can, but i heard
it with manger 107 that it is 200w in 4 Ohm & it almost drive it but near the maximum out put! & can it drive 802
500w in 8 Ohm & 90db ?
i need your experience thanks a lot

thank for answers friends
my space is about 10m - 4.5m .i don't listen always loud
but some times , yes!
a dealer in australia (northsidehifi)said to me that thay
had a good experience whit those and had a demo of them
for a year.and whit your experience it seems to be able!
the stupid things that made me suspicious was number of
ASR volume in 55 (of 70) whit manger 107, that it was
enough if it could drive the same whit B&W?
It may work, but there are better speakers that will allow the Emitter to do it's job better..
II would not say necessarily say better, but more efficient. You have to match speakers and amps together to suit ones ultimate goals. I am driving B&W 800's with 140 watt tube amps, and I could care less about any other speakers as I am completely satisfied. That is why I said, the low impedance curve does not matter with these speakers and good equipment. Pair of mono Octave 140 watt amps drive the 800's easily with clean, deep, dry bass. The best thing the original poster can do is to evaluate speakers in his own room and on his system to make the final determination for what the best synergy is. Perhaps the Plinius is not up to the job to drive these types of speakers at all, despite the 91db efficiency rating.

Oops, meant to say ASR and not Plinius, was multi-tasking several threads.

I would say better, it would be a shame not to realise the emitters potential. Ive yet to hear the 802d sound impressive.
