ASR Emitter 1 Exclusive '05

[Glory]

What integrated amp will outrun my ASR driving EA MMMicro1. 6 OHM 87Db speakers? Heard the BMC and I feel the ASR is better.Speaker needs 100 watts I believe.

The ASR is hard to beat Glory, I could only think of a Jadis DA88s or the Continium 500.

darTZeel CTH-8550. I know a friend who had both (actually still has the CTH), and, in his words, there's no comparison, the darTZeel is much better.

Agree on the darTZeel, also the Boulder 861 could be interesting to consider as well as the Diablo.

Emitter II Exclusive, way better than the I

I guess it depends what you like. ASR is extremely quiet and a bit warm. If you want sound stage, you might want to try tubes. Those speakers are pretty easy to drive, so a mid-power tube amp like an EAR or conrad-johnson might be just the ticket. Alternatively, Vitus Audio's Reference line might be good to check out (and were it me, that's where I'd look). DarTZeel is apparently very nice, especially for loudspeakers that are an easy load, but I know some folks that have "upgraded" from that to BMC (and onward, but that's another thing).

JR Continuum 500 is great but a little different from ASR sound i think ... no ?

Yes indeed, and will depend on ones tastes for sure, in my book the ASR seats in the middle of the fast/transparent JR and of the Jadis musical/warm sound.
