ASR EmiterII exclusive, follow up?

Sorry Frankg -- just noticed yr question.
I can only give you a hazy imporession based on memory... the Gryphon is warmer and somewhat "brighter" (pleasant mid-high light). Cheers

Hi Kops
I am EXTREMELY happy with my Asr II . No problems what so ever.
BUT, the list price here in North America is rude compared to that of Europe.
You will find the retail price in Europe to be almost half of what it is here in North America.

Hi Kops

I think this amp sounds relaxed and i mean more like its not having to try too hard. It all seems to be there, in particular all the detail. It defines every note and sound without over pronouncing anything. Each track you play reveals itself for what it is. Get one!

And may I add that the prices of American gear is alsmot the double of US. With dollar soooo low I do not understand this.... day light rubbery. People like Absolute Sound of UK sell their products at a very high price (a pair of Watt/Puppy 8s is almost $45000) and on top of it they are arrogant...

I've heard that the ASR/Merlin combo doesn't work. What are your thoughts?
