    As an engineer I would say it looks like a triumph of form over function. It might sound great but initially it makes me suspicious.

    They are a bit over the top. They are designed by Judy Spotheim. The Laluce looks better in the flesh I used to sell them a couple of years ago I'll post some better pictures.

    I don't sell them any more as the prices kept going up. But I do Like them. Bling Bling

    Paul Hi, I have been listening to the ASR for a couple of days, you were right superb amp, rather bigger than I expected from photographs though!

    You're joking, 150KG :eek: That must be including the PSU and everything (the guy who delivered it?!), right?

    Tenson,

    I'm sure you have seen the ASR Emitter II I had it in a rack when you came over. Its 4 boxes the main amp, 2 PSU and a battery PSU for the input. I may have been using it with the Mangers 109's.

    Indeed, but 150kg is a hell of a lot! I didn't realise it was that heavy.

    Paul Hi I wouldn't mind trying the Bel Canto's have you a couple of 1000's for demo? At least with them there would be room for me and the amplifiers.
