ASR Emitter owners,What speakers are you using?

Gosh,
Good to hear from another Quad owner / music lover.
I bought my model 63s new in 1983 84 there about,still have them.
Yes your right ,not many Emitter owners here.

I have never once tried a solid state amp with Quads,though I'll try it once my turntable arrives.

Yep, keep me posted on what you think of the Emitter with your 2805s. Let me know on my page . Thanks Gosh

Gosh,
The Emitter Exclusive battery powered preamp version is the one to own. You need a strong back including a well built rack...

Regarding your Quad 2805s.

Your electrostats maybe safer and sound much better using your Manley mono blocks instead of a Emitter, Im guessing.

Your ears were good enough to tell you these are great speakers.

Set up of your Quads in your room is[ critical ].
They need room to breathe. Your ears will tell you immediately when you find that spot.

I would find this sweet spot with your Manleys driving them before looking at other amplifiers.

Don't get too hung up with brand names.

A wide range of vacuum tube amps capable of making Quads sing are all over the World.

You could try out some European vintage tube amps ,Siemens, Telefunken , Philips Just to name a few, including British made tube amps.
I'm sure there are also vintage Swiss made tube amps that I am not aware of.
Something to think about.

Kckennedy,
Lot of contenders to go with the Emitter, thats for sure.

For twenty plus years I have always used two sets of speakers depending on my mood of music for that day.
Magnepan and Quad and just recently Quad and Dynaudio.

What I will be looking for this summer is a full range speaker with attributes of the Quad electrostats and Magnepan speakers.
Truth of timbre, coherence, transient speed,shocking transparency ect.

However first step is to take delivery of my Raven table and get it dialed in , then the hunt will begin.My table should arrive this week....
Thank you for your response
