ASR EmiterII exclusive, follow up?


Are there any users of the HP's proposal ASR EmitterII exclusive?
What speakers do you use with ASR? are you satisfied?
is it going?

Pls excuse my confusion -- but I'm not quite sure what your question is...
If it's about the amp, in general, then I can say I am familiar with it.
I didn't notice any particularities regarding the type or brand of spkrs to use... In fact they seem to drive most things out there.

The worst sonic results I had were with a diy Lowther-based spkr.
{On the other hand, you wouldn't need an Emitter to drive 106db/1m/2,83V spkrs.}

I'm probably missing the essence of yr question? Cheers

I am just asking the experience of ASR users so far, the satisfaction level of posessing such amp according to previous amps and if the posession of ASR justifies finally the triumph article of mr.HP in TAS. Is it so good?
And which is the associated equipment of ASR users (trying to find good matches).
I hope you understand me now.
Ah! There are only two challenges IMO:
a)the price that makes it inaccessible to most mortals,
b)there is no perceptible "bloom" s/where in the audible spectrum (usefully found in the lower mids with many amps) AND it's widebandwidth. So, a harsh spkr set-up will continue to sound harsh -- even though the bass will be well driven (that amp can drive any load within reason).

Associated equip: doesn't really matter, the amp's not a particularly difficult load. Anyways, apparently you can tweak a specific input to match yr source component's driving ability, so the electrical "compatibility" issue is moot. I used an old Symphonic Line cdp as well as a new Burmester and Naim: no problems.

I also used a TT. There the matter of loading was very simple, I did it myself (it was user adjustable on the amp I had).

I can tell you it doesn't much sound like a tube; it sounds a little bit like an old Pass. It's not warm sounding (but then, it's not "cold" either).

I'm sorry Kops, I'm having a hard time explaining -- possibly because I didn;t notice any "distinctive" sonic features...
Short version: it's easily one of the best commercially produced power amps and, chances are, if you can afford it and do buy it, you'll keep it. It's also extremely well built.

Mind you, however, it's NOT diy friendly at all -- so mods are probably out of the question (forget about adding your favourite brand of super caps, etc)! Also let me add that I don't own one (can't afford it) -- I had one on loan Cheers
