ASR Emitter owners,What speakers are you using?

Not many ASR users here I'm afraid...I am probably going to buy an Emitter I for my Quads 2805 and probably shall have one on loan in a few days. I'll let you know in some two weeks from now.

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

Certainly many Quad owners here, but ASR is another matter. I live in Europe (Switzerland) where ASR are likely far less expensive than in the US; still, the brand is pretty confidential even here. An Emitter is on Ebay France since many days and did'nt attract even one bid...it is not Mcintosh, Krell or Levinson, not to speak of Marantz and Denon.
I am not an expert in listening and probably don't have golden ears, but I'll compare the ASR and my Manley monoblocks (now out for revision, and to be sold probably...) on the Quads; Ill try and write what I hear.

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.
