Lamm ML 2.1 SET vs ASR Emitter II, DartZel

Doesn't seem a lot of GONers have actually really auditioned the ASR....anybody who has it would be really interesting to hear what they thought of them a bit in more specific terms...by now there has been a lot of feedback on NHBs (thanks Mike) and of course Lamms etc...haven't seen much on ASRs.

Hello fellow GONers. I am new to AUDIOGON , but not to the audio world. I have recently purchased the Emitter II Exclusive blue version. Music gear has been in my life since the age of two. My dad built and rolled his own amps speakers etc. Second generation bug.

I have owned different gear over the years, every new component was auditoned back and forth to hear if any changes took place. As you guys know, this is best the way to improve your system for your individual taste.

Some of the comparisions have taken a long time to reach a conclusion . The Emitter II Exclusive was such an immediate dramatic change that I was floored! The music flowed like it has never before - the usual adjectives to describe soundstage, depth, width, height, room presence, 3D-like imaging, slam, transcience, dynamics, and pinpoint imaging are not adequate. The difference is so profound in my system that words cannot describe what I hear!

I've had other audiophiles and musicians listen and go away shaking their heads in disbelief. They have never heard anything like it either.

Regarding the price, best money I've ever spent!! Get the unit home and listen for yourself - you won't be disappointed.

Auf wiedersehen! Happy listening!

Henryk: In my theater system I am using the ML 33s for the for the main L/R, 335 for the center, 33h for the rears. Fronts L/C/R are wired Valhalla interconnect (balanced), speakers are 1m Valhalla. The 2 channel is strictly ASR. The ML 30.6 DA outputs to the ASR. The ASR is using my old MIT MH 850 EVO for the L/R (I am lookin for 10ft Valhalla, any other recomendations?). My ASR also has a sub output which feeds my Watch Dog. That signal is single ended and full range. I have to switch the Dog from balanced (for theater mode) to single ended for two channel.
The Calypso and the CAT have been sold. They could not hold a candle to the ASR.
I have separated the two channel from the home theater. Originally the room was only for 2 channel, had it to myself for 2 years. For now they have to coexist, next house, I will build two separate dedicated rooms.

I see thanks. Wow Calypso can't handle a candle to ASR?
